MISSION STATEMENT

 

Global NCAP Trustees have adopted the following Mission Statement:

 

Global NCAP aims to support the development of new consumer crash test programmes in emerging markets where vehicle growth is strong but independent consumer information on crashworthiness is frequently not readily available.

 

To achieve this Global NCAP will offer support to New Car Assessment Programmes (NCAPs) in emerging economies and regions by offering technical support guidance and quality assurance.

 

Global NCAP will also provide a platform for cooperation for NCAPs and like organisations around the world to share best practice, to further exchange information, and to promote the use of consumer information to encourage the manufacture of safer cars across the global automotive market.

 

Global NCAP will carry out research on innovations in vehicle safety technologies, their application in global markets, the range of policies that will accelerate their use and monitor the progress of vehicle safety across the globe.

 

Global NCAP will also develop a global awards scheme to recognise achievement in vehicle safety, innovation in safety related technologies, and products.

 

Global NCAP has consultative status with the United Nations (ECOSOC), is a member of the UN Road Safety Collaboration, and supports the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020.

ROAD MAP FOR SAFER VEHICLES 2020

 

Global NCAP has adopted a Road Map for Safer Vehicles 2020 which provides a recommended timetable for UN Member States to apply the most important UN vehicle safety regulations. We propose that these regulations, or equivalent national performance standards, are applied initially to new models and then to all vehicles in production at the latest by the end of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety in 2020.

    “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 road safety 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.” Read the new blog on #roadsafety & @theglobalgoals from our partnership director Shakireh Ispahani http://gncap.org/2uEbqBt @stopthecrash #SaferCars #roadsafety #decadeofaction #savinglives #globalgoals
