The basis of the Vito safety body is the durable support structure and high-stability passenger cell. This combination of strength and rigidity was optimised in the design phase to enhance all-round protection for occupants and other road users.

The front section of the body comprises two deformation boxes welded to the longitudinal support beams. This ensures that maximum energy is absorbed during a frontal collision. Other crash scenarios optimised during the development phase, such as side and rear-end collisions, underline the Vito's exemplary safety standards.
