Perfect for city driving

The Crafter chassis cab safely and reliably handles almost any situation in heavy city traffic with its innovative driver assistance and safety systems.

Front Assist with City Emergency Braking

Front Assist and City Emergency Braking detects when the vehicle ahead is getting too close, as well as both pedestrians and cyclists, and will prepare the brakes if needed. If the risk remains, the system will partially apply the brakes to give you a helping hand.

Your second pair of eyes

Crafter chassis cab makes parking easy with its innovative and intelligent parking assistance system. Electromechanical Servotronic steering comes as standard. Optional features include Rear Traffic Alert and Steering Assistance.

This state-of-the-art system helps to prevent follow-on collisions. When the airbag sensor detects a collision, the brakes are automatically applied to avoid or lessen the impact of a secondary collision. The hazard and brake lights are illuminated, and the driver can take control at any time.
