Plans for a Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment Program for India have been discussed, but as an interim, Global NCAP has been performing consumer crash tests on popular Indian models, as part of its Safer Cars for India research project. [5] Similarly, Global NCAP conducts crash tests in South Africa, under its Safer Cars for Africa project.
This test is similar to the Euro NCAP Medium Severity and IIHS tests, but they have a lower speed and peak acceleration of 16 km/h (9.9 mph) and 10 G, respectively. The Euro NCAP Low and High Severity tests have different waveform shapes and lower peak acceleration, despite the latter having a higher speed differential of 24 km/h (15 mph).
In the world, there are nine New Car Assessment Programs. [2] Eight out of the nine test programs makes their vehicle safety ratings with a count of stars included in the range (1 to 5 stars). One test program, IIHS, makes a four level rating: Good, Acceptable, Marginal and Poor. [3]
Euro NCAP publish safety reports on new cars, and awards 'star ratings' based on the performance of the vehicles in a variety of crash tests, including front, side and pole impacts, and impacts with pedestrians. Testing is not mandatory, with vehicle models either being independently chosen by Euro NCAP or sponsored by the manufacturers. [9]
The 2023 Lincoln Aviator ranked with the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and Volvo XC60 with a "good" rating on crash safety for back seat passengers, according to a study from the Insurance Institute of ...
Global NCAP logo, 2017 revision. Global New Car Assessment Programme (Global NCAP) is a project of the Towards Zero Foundation, a UK-registered charity. The programme serves as an umbrella organisation encouraging co-operation between the various New Car Assessment Programmes around the world, [1] and a consumer test for vehicle safety in markets that are weakly regulated or do not yet have ...

NHTSA and Euro NCAP also test the more severe vehicle-into-pole side impacts, [10] where smaller vehicles have the same fatality rate as larger vehicles. [9] Newer cars have improved safety in case of front crashes, but side impacts can also be deadly; about 9,700 people were killed in side impacts in the US in 2004. [11]
