Stability control for new BT-50

Mazda has today announced that Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) will be available on its new BT-50 utility range, raising the bar for commercial vehicle safety standards.

Already offered on every Mazda passenger car, the decision to fit stability control to its commercial range highlights the Japanese brand's efforts to bring the potentially lifesaving technology to its entire range.

Local testing will ensure the all-new BT-50's stability control system is calibrated for the many varied driving conditions faced on and off Australian roads, as Mazda Australia Engineering and Compliance Manager, Wayne Watson explains.

"If you consider how the All-New BT-50 is likely to be used, it becomes clear just how many situations have to be taken into account to ensure that the Dynamic Stability Control system meets the needs of each and every driver," he said

"Mazda engineers have spent months calibrating and fine tuning the Dynamic Stability Control system to ensure maximum safety and durability."

Mazda Australia Marketing Manager, Alastair Doak says the addition of stability control to the all-new BT-50 will be well received by segment buyers.

"DSC systems are much more sophisticated now. So Mazda has worked hard to ensure that we offer a new standard of active safety for ute buyers," he said

"We've already shown that the All-New BT-50 will be more comfortable than ever before. So why shouldn't there also be the expectation that the All-New BT-50 will also offer better safety than ever before?"

The all-new Mazda BT-50 will arrive in local showrooms late next year.
