Today’s crash avoidance technologies are capable of preventing many types of vehicle collision before they happen. For example, worldwide studies have confirmed the effectiveness of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in reducing fatalities in single vehicle crashes by as much as 40%.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is calling on governments around the world to apply the UN’s most important vehicle safety regulations.
In its the WHO reveals “worrying data showing that less than half of countries implement minimum standards” and warns that “Governments have a responsibility to take the steps needed to ensure their citizens have access to safe vehicles”.

The latest Annual Report from Global NCAP highlights the significant collaborative progress being made by NCAPs worldwide.
