Stability control in demand
In a statement released this week, the FCAI said that between January and June this year 20.6 per cent of new cars and 48.1 per cent of SUVs sold in Australia – from the 38 brands who participated in the survey – had ESC fitted standard. It also said that 17 of these brands were fitting ESC to either 100 per cent of their passenger-car models, 100 per cent of their SUVs, or in some cases both.
There are at least 43 light-vehicle brands operating in Australia. Among those who did not participate were Proton and Lotus. The survey did not correlate with sales data from VFACTS.
The FCAI published a list of vehicle models available with ESC.
