Euro NCAP - For Safer Cars, Vans & Trucks’ Post

Today, Euro NCAP releases the results for three #Chinese #electric family #cars: the BYD SEAL, XPENG P7 and the BYD DOLPHIN. These cars have made their first splash in Europe’s market with the glamorous BYD SEAL targeting TESLA’s core buyers, the sleek XPENG P7 showcasing its long-distance range capability, and the BYD DOLPHIN underlining its value for money as an electric vehicle. Euro NCAP today reveals that these cars have all achieved five-star ratings in the programme’s most stringent testing yet. In today’s super-competitive European car market, #Chinese manufacturers are keen to demonstrate that their cars are a match for better-established brands. And the cars released today show that #safety is one of the areas where they compete, to the benefit of car-buyers. All three have achieved Euro NCAP’s highest star rating, with little to choose between them, particularly in the areas of adult and child #crash #protection. And all three are well-equipped with an impressive range of #safety #technologies, including lane and speed assistance.

It's Vehicle Safety Recall Week! Many factors play a part in road safety, not just speeding, and millions of vehicles are recalled each year. This week is about reminding drivers of the importance of regularly checking for safety recalls and getting a necessary repair! #SafeCommunities #SmartSolutions #VehicleRecalls National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA

On #retroday, #tbt to 1967; when Canada introduced the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). The CMVSS included the first nationally mandated safety standards for car seats, ushering in a new era for consumers and producers alike. Some major milestones since then include mandatory 3-point seatbelts, front passenger head restraints, central brake lights, and more. #automotive #cars #safety #engineering

⭐The BYD SEAL dives into the European market with a 5-star rating ⭐ Euro NCAP recently conducted safety testing on the Chinese manufacturer BYD's large, electric family car. The SEAL performs well, receiving five stars covering adult, child, vulnerable user protection, and safety assist protection that considers active safety technologies. The effects of climate change have necessitated manufacturers to consider other safety aspects in a car's design. SEAL has a well-working system to navigate the event of vehicle submergence. It is also equipped with a 'child presence detection', system but was not rewarded as it did not meet Euro NCAP's requirements.

Kids and Car Safety (KACS) has initiated efforts to raise awareness and prevent hot car deaths and injuries among children; Hyundai Motor America shares a similar passion and has instituted standard rear-occupant alert technology in 100% of its vehicles in support of child passenger safety. Let’s help remind parents and caregivers of the dangers of hot cars and the critical need for preventive action to safeguard our loved ones. #SafetyFirst #NationalHeatstrokePreventionDay

Stay compliant with the Direct Vision Standard and HGV Safety permit in London! Attention all heavy goods vehicle (HGV) operators in London! Ensuring safety on our roads is paramount, and Transport for London (TfL) has introduced crucial regulations you need to know about. 📋 The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and safety permit scheme for HGVs require operators of lorries over 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight to obtain a safety permit before entering and operating in most of Greater London. Failure to do so could result in a penalty charge. The DVS measures how much an HGV driver can directly see through their cab windows. This directly impacts the safety of vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists near the vehicle. Starting from 28 October 2024, heavy goods vehicles over 12 tonnes must have a three-star rating or fit a Progressive Safe System to operate in Greater London. It's crucial to note that regardless of the vehicle's perceived compliance, all lorries over 12 tonnes (GVW) entering or operating in Greater London must hold a valid HGV safety permit. The good news is... applying for a permit is completely free of charge. Learn more ➡️ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g8A5JQj #Levl #RoadSafety #LondonTransport #ComplianceMatters #TfL #SafetyFirst 

Great to see the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA taking an active role in making US roads safer for (almost) all users. On Monday 29th April, NHTSA included Automatic Emergency Breaking (AEB) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW) in its rules for passenger cars and light trucks starting in 2029. This is expected to save 360 lives and mitigate 24,000+ traffic injuries each year in the US! A good step in the right direction, albeit a slow one. As #ADAS technologies become more mature and cost-optimised, let's hope the momentum is kept for the inclusion of AEB and AES covering more scenarios/road users. https://lnkd.in/eYN9B3ys. https://lnkd.in/ew34tB5b
