Bodysell

All the special reinforcements on the bodyshell make it possible to leave the torsional and bending rigidity values unaltered.

These high rigidity values translate into the following advantages:

  • less vibrations;
  • less noise;
  • improved driveability;
  • greater resistanc to braking caused by the use of the vehicle on particularly uneven road surfaces;
  • compact sensation of the vehicle;
  • improved maintenance over a period of time of the overall qualities of the vehicle.

For all versions it is possible to have an Air Bag and seat belt pretensioners as an optional extra.

Protection against fires

The collection of measures designed to protect against fire in the vehicle consist of:

  • the adoption of metal fuel pipes;
  • the fitting of anti-flow fuel inertia system, including an electric supply pump cut off and a one-way valve on the appropriate pipe;
