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

⭐ The Dacia Duster dashes off with a three-star rating ⭐ Euro NCAP recently performed the latest safety protocols on the Romanian-made Dacia Duster. 🚨 The passenger compartment of the Duster remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dacia demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. The driver’s chest protection was rated as weak, based on dummy readings of compression during the test. The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system of the Dacia can respond to vulnerable road users as well as to other vehicles. Overall, the system’s response to pedestrians was adequate while its response to cyclists was good. 🛣️ Read the full press release here 👉 https://lnkd.in/g2-2SCJT 🚗 See its detailed results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/g5ye2rYu 🚗 Dacia #ncap #euroncap #safety #forsafercars #forsafervans #howsafeisyourcar #saferroads #safety #rating #roadsafety #drivesafely #cars #safercars #safetyratings #consumerprotection #electricvehicles #crashavoidance #ADAS #AD #assisteddriving #stars #Dacia #Duster

⭐ The BMW X2 earns a 2022 five-star rating ⭐ Euro NCAP recently performed the 2022 safety protocols on the BMW X2. It is a partner model to the BMW X1. Euro NCAP compared both vehicles to verify that the X1 results can be applied to the X2 and performed additional tests, where necessary. 🚨 The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system of the X2 can respond to vulnerable road users, as well as to other vehicles. The system performed well in tests of its response to pedestrians and cyclists, with collisions avoided in most scenarios. The X2 has a counter-measure to mitigate against occupant to occupant injuries in such impacts. The system performed well in Euro NCAP’s test, with good protection of occupants’ heads. 🛣️ Read the full press release here 👉 https://lnkd.in/g2-2SCJT 🚗 See its detailed results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gHm8VASm 🚗 BMW #ncap #euroncap #safety #forsafercars #forsafervans #howsafeisyourcar #saferroads #safety #rating #roadsafety #drivesafely #cars #safercars #safetyratings #consumerprotection #electricvehicles #crashavoidance #ADAS #AD #assisteddriving #stars #BMW #X2 #X1

🏆 The Ford Transit Custom goes all out with a Platinum Award 🏆 Euro NCAP awards the Transit Custom a Safety Assist Performance of 96%. Ford’s mid-size van, which was first introduced in 2012, is tested here in second-generation form, available since 2023. It is equipped with a broad range of high-performing safety equipment, much of it standard equipment, which it shares with its passenger-carrying stablemate, the Tourneo Custom. And it excels, scoring full or nearly full points in all of Euro NCAP’s tests, and emerges with a thoroughly well-deserved Platinum grading. 🚙 The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system uses radar-camera fusion technology to detect other vehicles and vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists. With a pedestrian in its sight, the system performs well in all scenarios, including those done in night-time conditions. The system reacts equally well in Euro NCAP’s cyclist scenarios, again scoring almost full points. ⚙️ Ford Motor Company See its full results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ei5UAnXU 🚗 #ncap #euroncap #safety #forsafercars #forsafervans #howsafeisyourcar #saferroads #safety #rating #roadsafety #drivesafely #cars #safercars #safetyratings #consumerprotection #electricvehicles #crashavoidance #vans #commercialvans #FordTransitCustom #Ford #Platinum

What a beautiful Front End Module.

Lately we announced our contribution in the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), providing our high performing on board devices for the Dallara SF23. Let’s explore each Meccanica42’s products installed on the racecars, starting from CBA. ◼Our Corner Brake Actuator opens access to any brake-based function and calibration, ensuring a precise, independent and rapid management of the single brake line pressure. ◼In this case, it was used to implement autonomous braking functions of the vehicle, commanded by the vehicle’s control logic. ◼With a focus on safety, the implementation of a fall-back strategy allows to confidently face emergency situations. This system, despite being designed for human driving, turns out to be really useful also for autonomous driving.

⭐ The VW Passat surpasses expectations with a five-star rating ⭐ Euro NCAP recently performed the latest safety protocols on the German Volkswagen Passat. 🚨 The Passat has a countermeasure to mitigate against occupant-to-occupant injuries in such impacts and this performed well in Euro NCAP's test, with good protection of the heads of both front occupants. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. Overall, the performance of the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system was good in tests of its reaction to other vehicles, with collisions avoided in most test scenarios. 🛣️ Read the full press release here 👉 https://lnkd.in/g2-2SCJT 🚗 See its detailed results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gcMKGMn2 Volkswagen #ncap #euroncap #safety #forsafercars #forsafervans #howsafeisyourcar #saferroads #safety #rating #roadsafety #drivesafely #cars #safercars #safetyratings #consumerprotection #electricvehicles #crashavoidance #ADAS #AD #assisteddriving #stars #Volkswagen #Passat #VW
