David Ward cuts through the ideological rhetoric that has put potential road safety progress in the UK on hold for a decade.   Full Manifesto: https://bit.ly/3zq24fc

📢 NCAPs Unite: Shaping the Future of Automotive Safety 👉This week, I had the privilege of chairing a meeting of New Car Assessment Programs from around the world in the stunning Boardroom at the #ADAC headquarters. Following the #NCAP24 conference, this gathering of global safety leaders was a chance to collaborate, share updates and find solutions to our mutual challenges. 👉The NCAPs play a crucial role in evaluating vehicle safety 🚗🚚🚲🛵 and influencing industry standards. As cars become increasingly automated and connected, their work will be more important than ever. From the latest crash test methodologies to the challenges of evaluating assisted and automated vehicles, the conversation was insightful and productive. 👉 It was inspiring to see so many colleagues committed to making the world's roads safer. I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to these vital discussions and look forward to our continued cooperation.

Busy week in Munich launching a new advocacy event platform for road safety. Proving the #NCAP24 social enterprise concept was always going to be conditional on bringing together great collaborators, strong partners and an informed, engaged and engaging audience - a global community deeply committed to the future of safer vehicles and safer journeys. So massive thanks are due to our spectacular organising team and the 423 participants from 32 countries worldwide who helped make our advocacy ambition an impactful reality. Fantastic start. Looking forward to #NCAP25. #ForSaferJourneys Towards Zero Foundation Global NCAP Euro NCAP - For Safer Cars, Vans & Trucks ADAC

I’m incredibly proud of the work TRL undertook supporting the European Commission and European Parliament to mandate new General Safety Regulation and Pedestrian Safety Regulation in 2022 (GSR2). The EU has established a policy framework to ensure the safest vehicle fleet in the world by 2030, and simultaneously helped the EU Automotive Industry to remain competitive with regard to the challenges of developing automated vehicles. Intelligent Speed Assistance #ISA is a key element of the GSR2 package of measures – road deaths, injuries and collisions are preventable and GSR2 is the equivalent to a ‘vehicle vaccine’. As a general rule, for every 1 km/h reduction in average traffic speed, we observe a 3% reduction in collisions. ISA helps drivers to conform with safe speeds and saves them money by improving fuel efficiency. It mitigates the risk of unintentional lapses in concentration that can lead to expensive speeding fines and license endorsements – keeping us all mobile and working. ISA is a superpower for two reasons. Firstly, it makes ADAS features and crashworthiness measures more effective in the real world. Secondly, it begins to tackle the existential global warming and climate change crisis we are facing by directly reducing transport energy consumption and carbon emissions. Thank you Global NCAP for inviting TRL to be part of the innovative and brave #GlobaI_ISA_Partnership initiative. I am imagining the next EU package of safety measures (GSR3) being integrated with environmental requirements - a system approach, grounded on pragmatic solutions, striving for #visionzero and #netzero.

“Global NCAP has made a major impact in India by educating the consumer on vehicle safety and it has been a cornerstone in establishing Bharat NCAP. “Looking back to 2010, India did not even have airbags in most cars. It only took 10 years to implement legislation for airbags and technologies such as #ABS and #ESC in India. It took almost 25 years in Europe. “Thank you Global NCAP for helping India to get safer vehicles on the roads.” Girikumar Kumaresh, Bosch India at #NCAP24. #ForSaferJourneys #SaferCarsForIndia

“Speed is a critical factor in most crashes. Speed Assistance is a technology which can help drivers respect the speed limit. A vital contribution to road safety. “We need a partnership with all the stakeholders, the manufacturers, authorities, working together to encourage this technology, to help contribute to reducing deaths on the road.” David Ward from the Towards Zero Foundation and Yoni Epstein from Mobileye explain the importance of this technology and the role of the new ISA Partnership. #NCAP24 #ForSaferJourneys

Intelligent speed assist can have significant impact on road safety, both in reducing accidents and their severity. Yoni Epstein talks about the progression of speed assist technologies, regulations and increasing EuroNCAP protocols at #NCAP24. #speedassist #ISA #GSR

“ISA is a superpower. “If a pedestrian steps out in front of your car, #AEB combined with ISA’s speed reduction will give the pedestrian a far greater chance of survival and avoid life changing injuries when involved in a crash." Richard Cuerden, Director, TRL Academy, explains the life saving benefits of #ISA at #NCAP24. #ForSaferJourneys

As the #NCAP24 World Congress reaches a conclusion in Germany, we are delighted to announce our plans to host #NCAP25 in China, in partnership with China NCAP and China Automotive Technology & Research Center. David Ward, Executive President of the Towards Zero Foundation and Ms Lu Mei, President of CATARC met in Munich for the NCAP25 signing ceremony. #ForSaferJourneys

“ANCAP SAFETY is thrilled to have been recognised for 31 years of continued consumer advocacy. “We’re excited to be recognised in this way, because we've taken an approach of always pushing forward with consumer advocacy and communications. The technical results that we generate from the research, the work and the testing, must be communicated, otherwise if we keep them to ourselves they are of no value. “So we place an equal emphasis of doing the work, doing the testing but also communicating those results. Of working with stakeholders from private and business consumers through to governments, to ensure that everyone is aware of the benefits of a safer vehicles.” Carla Hoorweg Chief Executive Officer ANCAP Safety #NCAP24 #ForSaferJourneys
