Shanghai Declaration a highlight of NCAP25
Announcing the Shanghai Declaration on day one of NCAP25 was a historic moment for the gathered NCAP organisations.
Nine NCAPs, fully representative of our global reach, used the platform of the Global NCAP World Congress 2025 to reaffirm their shared vision of a world in which every person, regardless of geography or circumstance, benefits from safe vehicles and transparent information.
NCAP25 Plenary: Achieving more through collaboration
The World Congress plenary brought together colleagues from across the NCAP community, to share ideas and discuss priorities for vehicle safety.
The session was opened by Global NCAP Chairman Iain Cameron, who stressed the importance of collaboration, in order to achieve more, in less time.
The urgent need to improve fleet safety
Driving for work is one of the biggest risks for employees: work-related crashes cause 400,000 deaths a year – a third of the global total.
But with sixty per cent of vehicle sales in Europe being for fleets, a huge opportunity exists to lower those figures, via better fleet safety.
Speaking after a session at NCAP25 dedicated to fleet safety, Luca Pascotto (left), the FIA’s Head of Road Safety and Global Advocacy, said it was “essential” for fleet safety to be high on the agenda of the road safety debate.
