📆 Save the Date: 20 November 2024 📆 ⭐Release of New Euro NCAP Truck Safe Ratings ⭐ In the European Commission’s recent statistical report on road safety in the EU (2023), heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) was the only mode of transport on European roads where fatalities had risen - by 7%. The timing and introduction of Euro NCAP’s new Truck Safe programme could not be more important. 🚚 Euro NCAP today announces 20 November 2024 as the date of release of the Truck Safe star ratings for seven of the latest HGVs on European roads. 🛣️ To mark the occasion, Euro NCAP will host an event for selected stakeholders and press, uniquely focused on commercial vehicle safety, together with a technology ride and drive experience, in collaboration with HORIBA MIRA in Nuneaton, UK. 🚘 #forsafertrucks #roadsafety #visionzero #devslaw #carsafety #euroncap #cityandhighway #trucks #trucksafety #safetrucks #heavydutyvehicles #freight #logistics #fleet #HGVs #Nearside #Turn #technologies #industrypartners #forsaferjourneys

EURO NCAP: Camioane mai scumpe, transporturi mai lente • Institutul Euro NCAP - For Safer Cars, Vans & Trucks stabilește noi teste pentru camioane. Vehiculele, în sine, vor deveni mai sigure în trafic. Foarte probabil, toti cei implicați în viitoarele incidente/accidente vor scăpa mai ușor. Dar va scădea cu adevărat numărul total al victimelor? #euroncap #teste #camioane #siguranta #accidente #GSR #VisionZero #220v #unghimort #AEB #LSS

Talking trucks….Euro NCAP were guests of Volvo Trucks UK discussing the multitude of possible permutations when specifying a truck. There are literally thousands of combinations of axles, drivetrains, chassis lengths and cabs. Thanks to John Comer for showing us them all! (well most). Truly impressive. And even better still, all have a multitude of top class safety equipment to protect drivers and other road users. Their driver vision especially on the FM is also top class, helped by their new eMirrors. We wait to test them in the new Euro NCAP HGV assessment. The safest trucks? We shall see… #forsafercars#safertrucks #trucks #roadsafety #euroncap #cityandhighway #safetrucks #heavydutyvehicles #freight #logistics #fleet #technology #future #consumerprotection.

Fantastic Ford! Euro NCAP continue to engage with the truck makers, this time with Ford Otosan in Turkey. (They make all those Platinum Safety rated vans like the Transit). We were here to see the F-Max, a heavy Ford truck with many of the safety features that we’ll be featuring in our new Truck Safe ratings in November such as emergency lane keeping, AEB and cyclist detection. And there’s more to come…. Thanks to Sercan Karaagac and his team for their hospitality in this lovely country. We were impressed with their dedication to road safety and their aim to make their trucks as safe as their vans. We look forward to evaluating the F-Max in the near future as part of the Euro NCAP Truck Safe programme. #forsafercars#safertrucks #trucks #roadsafety #euroncap #cityandhighway #safetrucks #heavydutyvehicles #freight #logistics #fleet #technology #future #consumerprotection.

Europos transporto saugumo ekspertai Euro NCAP - For Safer Cars, Vans & Trucks užsibrėžė naują tikslą - patobulinti sunkvežimių saugumą Europos keliuose keičiant esamus sunkvežimių saugumo reikalavimus ir pristatant naujausias technologijas 🚨 Šio sprendimo priežastis yra paprasta: nors vilkikai sudaro tik 3 proc. Europos keliuose važiuojančių transporto priemonių, jie figūruoja beveik 15 proc. nelaimingų atsitikimų visoje Europoje. 💬 „Kai sunkvežimiai patenka į avarijas, dėl jų svorio ir dydžio rizika pažeidžiamiausiems eismo dalyviams žūti išauga. Todėl sunkiasvoris transportas privalo būti geriau aprūpintas gyvybes gelbstinčiomis technologijomis, ypač susijusiomis su avarijų išvengimu, geresniu matomumu bei padedančiomis vykdant gelbėjimo darbus po avarijų“,- teigė „Euro NCAP“ generalinis sekretorius Michielis Van Ratingenas. Ateityje reikalavimų tik daugės - 2027 m. atsiras nauji reikalavimai, susiję su saugiu manevravimu, 2030 m. prasidės pirmieji avarijų bandymai, leisiantys geriau įvertinti pasyvias saugumo priemones. Kaip skelbiama, dabartiniai „Truck Safe“ testai apims svarbiausias eismo saugumą gerinančias technologijas: 🔹 Išmanaus greičio pritaikymo sistemą (Intelligent Speed Adoptation (ISA) – angl.); 🔹 Autonominę avarinio stabdymo sistemą (Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) – angl.); 🔹 Važiavimo eismo juostoje sistemą (Lane Support Systems (LSS) – angl.). Greta šių naujovių sunkvežimiai taip pat turėtų kisti: daromos žemesnės kabinos, montuojami didesni langai, gerinami elektroniniai veidrodėliai.

Euro NCAP are trucking at the Road Transport Expo (RTX) at Stoneleigh in Warwickshire UK looking at the latest trucks and safety technologies that will feature in the new Euro NCAP Truck Safe ratings that launch in November 2024. The ratings will use what we call the Haddon Matrix, 4 pillars that explain the timeline of a crash - Safe Driving, the hours before a crash - Crash Avoidance, the seconds before the accident where ADAS can help avoid - Crash Protection, where good structure and restraints are life savers, and Rescue, the golden hour where 1st responders need access to the vehicle to safely extract a crash victim. Systems and technologies will be evaluated in each pillar to ensure vehicles are safe, not only in a crash but also supporting the driver in the hours before. On show today are lots of new trucks, many with the technologies that will help deliver a 5 star performance. #forsafercars#safertrucks #trucks #roadsafety #euroncap #cityandhighway #safetrucks #heavydutyvehicles #freight #logistics #fleet #technology #future #consumerprotection.

Great to see the motivation that Scania is showing to improve truck safety. Scania and Volvo have worked with us from day 1 to develop this program which is now soon to be launched, and will lift truck safety to another level. #VisionZero #EuroNCAP

Euro NCAP - For Safer Cars, Vans & Trucks officially announces a major milestone in the development towards a Truck Safe ⛑️ rating scheme. Trucks play a vital role in a vibrant and productive economy. However, data shows there is a disproportionate number of truck related fatalities across Europe. Euro NCAP's future rating scheme is designed to go further and faster than current EU #trucksafety regulations. Read more from Fleetpoint here: https://ow.ly/hruP50RyoVT Image by Fleet Point

Talking Truck Safety….EuroNCAP visited Volvo Trucks in Gothenburg to discuss the new Euro NCAP Truck Safe ratings that launch in November this year. The test procedures are published and now available on our website and so we now move on to finalise the ratings. We had some very good discussions as to what good looks like in pursuit of vision zero and Volvo have some exciting new tech that will make our roads safer still. Lovely people, great trucks and surprising weather. Thanks to Anna and Per for the great meeting. So will Volvo have the first 5 star truck? We’ll see… #forsafercars#safertrucks #trucks #roadsafety #euroncap #cityandhighway #safetrucks #heavydutyvehicles #freight #logistics #fleet #technology #future #consumerprotection.
