The European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) has been presented with the prestigious Innovation Award from the Global New Car Assessment Programme (Global NCAP) in recognition of the continuous evolution of its vehicle rating roadmap.
Individual Global NCAP awards have also been presented to former Euro NCAP chairmen Max Mosley and Claes Tingvall, for Lifetime Achievement and Consumer Champion, respectively.
“Euro NCAP has emphasised the importance of AEB for vulnerable road user protection including pedestrians and cyclists, and also promotes speed assistance technology,” said David Ward, Global NCAP Secretary General. “Its new Road Map 2025 strategy takes Euro NCAP towards a vision of zero fatalities and serious injuries.”
The awards were presented at Euro NCAP’s 20th anniversary event, during which sister organisation Latin New Car Assessment Programme also presented an award of appreciation to Euro NCAP for its support in the establishment of the programme for Latin America.
“Euro NCAP has been instrumental in the success of Latin NCAP by providing technical and strategic guidance and know-how from the start,” said Latin NCAP Secretary General Alejandro Furas. “We look forward to continue the dialog between the two programmes, to share best practice and our experiences.”
