Swift dilutes expectations with just two stars for adult safety. @GlobalNCAP released today an update to its #SaferCarsForIndia crash test results. Following last month’s announcements, the Maruti Suzuki Swift falls short on adult safety. gncap.org/2PmeEQu

The 2018 @GlobalNCAP Legacy Award is made to @NewsfromTRL for the development of the Offset Deformable Barrier. A key element in EU vehicle safety legislation introduced in 1998, and a precursor to @euroncap crash testing. https://gncap.org/trlaward

From Hero to Zero: Maruti Suzuki achieves impressive four stars whilst Renault scores a disappointing zero. @GlobalNCAP announces latest #SaferCarsForIndia crash test results during Delhi World Congress. gncap.org/2QayYo1

@GlobalNCAP’s Annual Awards recognise outstanding promoters of consumer protection and innovation in vehicle safety. The winners this year, announced at our first ever World Congress are @IRTESocial, @MORTHIndia & @Hitch42Lund. https://gncap.org/2018awards

"The 4 stars awarded to the Tata Nexon represent a very strong result from a major Indian car manufacturer. This impressive safety performance is comfortably above the new crash test standards applied in India to new models since October 2017. It is very encouraging to see Tata aiming high for safety and a great example for others to follow. The race is clearly on for India’s first 5 star car!" #SaferCarsForIndia https://gncap.org/2MqnA61

"25,300 people lost their lives on EU roads last year. Following an extensive consultation process this long overdue proposal to upgrade vehicle safety regulations is to be warmly welcomed, accelerating the fitment of life saving vehicle technology designed to protect the most vulnerable of road users. #AEB and #ISA are proven technologies which will contribute significantly to the EU’s newly proposed target to halve road deaths and serious injuries by 2030. We strongly encourage Member States and the @Europarl_EN to adopt the life saving package as quickly as possible." gncap.org/2wOcgxl

“President @realDonaldTrump comment, whether intended as a joke or not, shows no understanding of the purpose or procedure of the global pedestrian impact test. Far more worrying is that his remarks are trying to ‘weaponize’ a safety feature by treating it as an ‘unfair’ trade practice. This is against the interests of both American consumers and automobile manufacturers. The solution is for the US to apply the @UN pedestrian protection regulation to help save American lives and sell American cars in Japan and the EU.” http://gncap.org/2HNt4Ff

"We are proud to be supporting this important initiative for Latin America. With the launch of the new PESRI web site, parents will have the information they need to help make safer choices for their families. We also hope the wide availability of this information will act as a catalyst for the manufacturers of Child Restraint Systems to improve the performance of their products."

Today, @globalncap & @aasouthafrica launch #SaferCarsforAfrica, with the first independent crash test assessment of some of South Africa’s most popular compact and small cars gncap.org/AfricaResults

"Remarkably rapid safety progress from the original @RenaultIndia Kwid made in India, to the latest Brazilian version tested by @LatinNCAP. But why didn’t @RenaultIndia build in better than zero star performance for the Kwid from the outset?"

@UN Secretary General @antonioguterres’ report to the General Assembly on ‘Improving Global Road Safety’ highlights work of @GlobalNCAP and calls on @UN member States to:
- To participate in new car assessment programmes;
- To support the elimination of the production of unsafe cars and implement the @UN vehicle safety regulations or equivalent national standards.

Time car makers voluntarily use UN crash standards says @MikeBloomberg http://bit.ly/2rurOhQ as Jean Todt promotes @UNECE self commitment #visionzero

"It is very encouraging to see the Indian Government apply @UN crash test standards to new models in October this year and all cars in production by October 2018. This is a huge step forward in passenger car safety in #India. It is impressive also to see the Government mandating #ABS in motorcycles. More progress is needed and we hope that #India will now plan to make #ESC mandatory for new cars, buses and lorries by 2020." @JessDTruong

@mikebloomberg calls for voluntary commitment from automakers to meet or exceed @UN #roadsafety standards worldwide

“This week the #4RoadSafety Manifesto was launched providing a template for legislators to bring road safety regulations to their countries. I hope that following Stop the Crash the Thai government will bring legislation on ESC and ABS in motorcycles, two technologies much needed in our country and that can help save lives.”
@NikornChamnong

“It is troubling that during the UN Road Safety Week we yet again encounter a zero star car in our crash testing in India. Renault produce the Duster in a number of markets and yet it seems content to provide a version for India which falls so far short on safety." #SaferCarsForIndia

"These very positive crash test results demonstrate what can be achieved by manufacturers who choose safety. VW and Seat have clearly committed to a leadership role on safety performance in Latin America which we recognise and warmly welcome."

“Unlike high visibility transport disasters like plane or train crashes, the continuous daily toll of road deaths and injuries are only visible to those directly affected. Linked to this problem is often a lack of knowledge that there is anything we, as individuals, as organisations, as governments, can do to prevent road trauma. And therefore #roadsafety often doesn’t get the attention or funding that it needs to make a real difference. But this perception simply isn’t true. There is a lot we can do. Crashes are entirely predictable and preventable and there is a huge body of knowledge and experience that exists in countries where they have implemented measures to prevent them and the death and injury toll has fallen.”

The safety of automobiles should be the same for all continents and should not be differentiated based upon where citizens are born. We must do as much as possible in the field of road safety to avoid losing lives especially those of young people.
