Ford Motor Co. has issued a recall for approximately 85,000 Explorer SUVs from the 2020-2022 model years due to a potential engine fire risk. The recall specifically targets vehicles equipped with the Police Interceptor Utility package and 3.3L hybrid and gas engines. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue arises when motor failure causes oil and fuel to leak into the engine compartment, where they may accumulate near ignition sources, increasing the risk of fire. Ford is advising owners to take their vehicles to dealerships for necessary inspections and repairs to prevent possible hazards. This recall highlights ongoing safety concerns in the automotive industry, particularly related to engine and fuel system integrity. #FordRecall #ExplorerSUV #VehicleSafety #NHTSA #EngineFireRisk #AutoNews #FordMotorCo #CarSafety #SUVRecall #HybridVehicles

The eCanter Next Gen will come standard with a class-leading active safety package. To be launched in May, the groundbreaking vehicle will feature unmatched Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) technology, including the Active Side Guard Assist feature that can detect hazards down the side of the truck, such as moving pedestrians and cyclists, when turning left. The Active Side Guard Assist system is so advanced that after issuing an initial warning, the eCanter Next Gen can automatically brake to avoid an impact in the event the driver does not respond. The current Fuso eCanter already leads its class with active safety features designed to keep the vehicle occupants and pedestrians safe, but the next generation truck is even safer again. “Near silent electric trucks usually operate in high density areas with a lot of pedestrians and other road users, so active safety features are critically important,” says Daimler Truck Australia Pacific Sales and Marketing Vice President, Andrew Assimo. “The eCanter has a clear safety advantage with the most advanced active safety features that are fully integrated and, importantly, standard.” Daimler Truck has had a long history of fitting advanced safety features as standard to its vehicles, including the introduction of radar-based active emergency braking in Australia back in 2012 on the Actros from Mercedes-Benz Trucks. #Fuso #eCanter #Actros

According to new research from Transport and Environment (T&E), new cars are to continue increasing in size. New cars in the EU are subject to the same maximum width, 255cm, as buses and trucks. And when comparing the top 100 cars sold in 2018 to the top 100 in the first half of 2023, T&E says that the average width of new cars has grown from 177.8cm to 180.3cm. James Nix, vehicles policy manager at T&E, said: “Cars have been getting wider for decades and that trend will continue until we set a stricter limit. “Currently the law allows new cars to be as wide as trucks. The result has been big SUVs and American style pick-up trucks parking on our footpaths and endangering pedestrians, cyclists and everyone else on the road.” #news #fleetnews #fleetmanagement #vehicles #newcars #driving #motoring #transportandenvironment https://lnkd.in/eNgNzSk7
