Carmakers to boost standard equipment levels
Carmakers are set poised to include more advanced technology in their cars as standard, with both Volkswagen and PSA Peugeot Citroen announcing significant additions to their future model line-ups. Volkswagen has announced that its Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP) will become standard on every 2009 vehicle - the first time a non-luxury manufacturer has offered this.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration predicts nearly 10,000 lives could be saved each year if all carmakers included electronic stabilisation systems as standard equipment.
