NZ'S SAFEST LIGHT TRUCK.
New Zealand’s most popular light-duty truck is now also the safest. Four integrated safety systems*, plus the addition of passenger side airbags as standard across the range, join an extensive list of existing features to make this the safest light truck available.**
Existing safety features that combine to put Canter ahead of the pack include a brake priority system, Hill Start Assist, heated rear-view mirrors and a reinforced cab in line with European (ECE-R29) standards.
As a business, we are committed to looking after our own – that means supporting our customers’ businesses through exceptional value, trusted service and advanced technology to improve overall performance and enhance driver safety.
Active Emergency Braking System
Lane Departure Warning System
LDWS reduces the risk of lane departure accidents by using a camera behind the windscreen, which detects lane markings and triggers an alert if the vehicle crosses with no indicator.
Electronic Stability Control
ESC employs multiple sensors to detect loss of steering control and apply brake force at each wheel, which aids steering control and improves stability.
Touchscreen Media Unit + Reverse Camera
A 7" touchscreen relays images from Canter's rear-mounted reversing camera and works with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for handsfree talking and text-to-speech functionality. This feature is optional on tipper models.
