C-NCAP marks 20th anniversary with launch of 2027 Protocol
On April 20, NCAP leaders, government authorities, industry, academia and the media gathered in Tianjin, China, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the China New Car Assessment Programme (C-NCAP).
Over the past two decades, C-NCAP has assessed more than 600 vehicle models from over 120 manufacturers and conducted nearly 2,000 real-vehicle crash tests. In doing so, it has built a comprehensive assessment framework spanning passive safety, active safety, child protection, pedestrian protection and intelligent assisted driving. Today, it serves both as a key reference for consumers and a benchmark for automotive research and development in China.
Attended by more than 500 participants, the anniversary event not only reflected on C-NCAP’s achievements but also set the direction for its future with the simultaneous release of the C-NCAP 2027 Edition Protocol.
