2. Recent U.S. New Vehicle Performance
Program currently provides ratings on approximately
85 percent of the new model year U.S. vehicle fleet
Vehicles are generally performing well under the
Enhanced Program
Excellent (4- to 5-star ratings) side performance seen in most
vehicles (MY 2011-2014)
Further improvements are still needed

7. U.S. NCAP Success and Goal
Success
Manufacturers respond to our crash test programs by
designing vehicles to achieve 4- and 5-star ratings at a
much faster pace than ever before
Full frontal impact test (old program) – more than 2 decades
Side impact barrier test (old program) – about 10 years
Enhanced full frontal impact, side impact barrier and pole
tests – less than 4 years
Steady increases of vehicles with advanced
technologies that are recommended by our program
Goal
Encourage continuous advancement of vehicle safety
7
8. Recent U.S. NCAP Activities
April 2013 – Published a notice seeking public input
on potential areas for improvements
Received public comments; stakeholder meetings
were held
September 2013 – Replaced ESC with rearview video
systems as one of the 3 recommended advanced
technologies
8
9. Next Steps for U.S. NCAP
Publish a 5-year plan outlining research that NHTSA
plans to conduct to support near- and long-term
upgrades
Publish a notice for near-term upgrades to U.S. NCAP
Increase efforts to further promote U.S. NCAP
Digital materials about 5-Star Safety and advanced safety
technologies
Partners outreach

Questions?
11. Overarching Public Comments
Any changes to U.S. NCAP should be based on real-world
data
Sufficient lead time should be considered
Consideration of performance requirements and test
procedures of other NCAP programs, global
regulations, and organization such as ISO and SAE
Consistency between U.S. NCAP and Federal motor
vehicle safety standards
Suggestions on how crash avoidance should be
treated in U.S. NCAP were conflicted
A single vehicle rating vs. separate ratings for crash avoidance
and crashworthiness
No ratings for crash avoidance systems other than at the
level of individual technologies
