New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP): Vehicle Selection and Results of Phase II

Abstract:

New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian countries (ASEAN NCAP) is established with specific objective to elevate motor vehicle safety in the region. In line with United Nations Decade of Action for Global Road Safety 2011-2020 decree, the program is anticipated to influence consumer perception towards opting safer cars. This paper presents the results of ASEAN NCAP Phase II test on eleven popular models via offset frontal crash test, as well as the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) results. This paper also includes explanation on the criteria for vehicle selection, as well as the direction for ASEAN NCAP to encompass the whole spectrum of occupant protection and vehicle crashworthiness.
