The document summarizes a presentation by David Ward from Global NCAP on automotive safety technologies and regulations. It discusses the global road safety challenge, policies and priorities recommended by WHO to improve safety, and Global NCAP's efforts to promote safer vehicles worldwide through new crash test standards and programs in emerging markets. Global NCAP's goal is to have all new cars meet UN crash standards and include airbags and other safety features by 2020.

2. Global Road Safety Challenge – The Urgency of Now
Over 3500 people are killed in road crashes
every day. Around 3% of GDP is lost worldwide
and road crashes are the leading cause of death
of young people.
Low and middle income countries account for
90% of global road deaths and have fatality rates
twice that of high income nations.
These countries are also motorising rapidly and
account for about half of new car production
and sales worldwide.
Over the next fifteen years the global vehicle fleet
is expected to double to above 2 million. This
unprecedented experiment in global motorisation
represents a huge road safety challenge.

3. Save LIVES: Road Safety Policy Priorities
In 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) issued
the Save LIVES technical policy package which
promotes 6 components and 22 evidence based
measures to support the road safety related
Sustainable Development Goals and the target to
halve road deaths and injuries by 2020. See:
http://www.who.int/violence_injury_prevention/p
ublications/road_traffic/save-lives-package/en/
The WHO has also led the adoption of a global
road safety performance indicators. These cover
twelve areas mainly for implementation by 2030.
The targets were approved in a resolution on
adopted by the General Assembly last month. See:

media/news/2016/15_04/en/

4. In April 2018 UN General Assembly adopted resolution (A/Res/72/L.48)
which encourages Member States (paragraph 9) to adopt:
Policies and measures to implement United Nations vehicle safety
regulations or equivalent national standards to ensure that all new
motor vehicles, meet applicable minimum regulations for occupant and
other road users protection, with seat belts, air bags and active safety
systems as standard.
Michael Bloomberg, WHO Ambassador for NCD’s, is calling on vehicle
manufacturers to apply voluntarily the UN minimum crash test standards.
Jean Todt, UN Special Envoy for Road Safety, is also advocating an industry
self commitment to safer vehicles. Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary
General’s Report to 72nd UN General Assembly calls on Member States to:
“Participate in NCAPs” and “support the elimination of the production of
unsafe cars and implement the United Nations vehicle safety regulations
or equivalent national standards”

5. Global NCAP – Building A Market for Safety Worldwide
Global NCAP was launched in 2011 to
serve as a platform for co-operation
among NCAPs and to provide financial
& technical support to new programmes
in emerging markets.
We are a UK registered charity supported
by the FIA Foundation and Bloomberg
Philanthropies. We have consultative
status with the United Nations (UN);
a member of the UN Road Safety
Collaboration and an observer at the
UN World Forum for Harmonisation of
Vehicle Regulations.
In 2016 we received the Premier Prince
Michael International Road Safety Award
for outstanding achievement in vehicle
safety.

6. Global NCAP’s 2020 Vision…
In 2017 from a total of 73.4 million new cars
as many as 20% fail to meet UN minimum
safety standards, lacking air bags, anti-lock
brakes, or electronic stability control (ESC).
By 2020 at the latest Global NCAP wants
all new cars to meet UN crash test
standards with air bags, ABS and ESC
fitted as standard. To support this vision
we have proposed a Road Map for Safer
Vehicles 2020.

8. Emerging Market NCAPs
Global NCAP gives financial and technical support
to emerging NCAPs in Latin America and South
East Asia. Despite weak regulatory systems in
these regions ASEAN and Latin NCAP have seen a
rapid increase in the availability of four and five
star cars.
In India we have created a ‘Safer Cars for India’
project and this has acted as a catalyst for action
by industry and Government who have mandated
crash test standards from October 2017. A ‘Safer
Cars for Africa’ project was launched in Cape
Town on November 2017.
Global NCAP is also promoting its #nozerostarcars
campaign to discourage manufacturers from
selling cars that fail minimum UN crash test
standards and score ‘zero stars’ in NCAP ratings.

9. Reaching for the Stars

11. Evolution of Renault Nissan’s
CMF-A Platform
The Common Module Family A is the platform
used for Renault’s Kwid sold in India, Indonesia
and Brazil.
The original Kwid was launched in India in
2016 & was crash tested by Global NCAP’s
‘Safer Cars for India’ programme. The car
scored zero stars as the body shell collapsed.
Further tests have led to improvements in the
body shell and a driver’s air bag equipped ‘one
star’ version is now available.
In 2017 a revised version was launched in
Brazil with four air bags which scored three
stars in a Latin NCAP test. The safety
improvements are estimated to make the car
64kg heavier than the Indian version.

12. Crash Avoidance: Better to Stop the Crash than Have One!
Global NCAP leads the Stop the Crash Partnership which is
promotes the priority crash avoidance systems for
passenger cars, buses, commercial vehicles and motor
cycles:
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) anti-skid system
with capacity to reduce up to 40% of run-off road
crashes. Now mandatory in most high income countries.
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) automatically
applies the brakes if the driver does not react and can
cut collisions at low speed by 20%. Pedestrian systems
are also appearing and will become an important injury
prevention technology.
Motorcycle Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) improves stability
and braking performance. Motorcycles equipped with
ABS have rate of fatal crashes 37 per cent lower than
same models without.

13. without ESC with ESCNumerous studies have shown ESC to be highly
effective. Fatal single-vehicle crashes involving
cars are reduced by about 30–50% and SUVs by
50–70%. Fatal rollover crashes are estimated to
be about 70–90% lower.
ESC is mandatory in Australia, Canada, the
European Union, Israel, Japan, New Zealand,
Russia, South Korea, Turkey and the USA. It will
soon also be in Argentina, Brazil and Malaysia.
Last year in China the major domestic brands
made a voluntary commitment to fit ESC as
standard.
The current ESC global fitment rate of new
passenger cars is just over 60%. The UN has a
standard for ESC (Reg.13H & GTR 8). The system
works in buses, coaches and trucks.

15. 2018 World Congress
Global NCAPs first World
Congress will be held in Delhi
on September 26-28 with our
partner the Institute for Road
Traffic Education (IRTE). The
Congress will bring together
NCAPs worldwide at IRTE’s
College of Road Traffic
Management to share not their
experience in building a market
