Reportedly, Euro NCAP revealed its new report highlighting the results that come out after its newest batch of tests respectively. And certainly, that is probably the good news for EVs all around. In the testing, renowned vehicles like Tesla Model S, while unknown models like the Wey Coffee 02 also got the maximum five stars in testing.
Additionally, the Model S and the Nio ET7 also achieve top marks in the Green NCAP rating. While both of these electric vehicles share the maximum ratings in the safety Assist category in Euro NCAP testing.
In addition to the above news, the twin Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X also got five stars in the testing. On the other hand, Nissan Ariya and the Hyundai Ioniq 6, got an excellent score of 97% in Adult Protection. While the Smart #1 didn’t disappoint though, as it got five stars of its own.
Michiel van Ratingen, Euro NCAP’s Secretary General, said: Manufacturers are keen to achieve good scores in this year’s tests as next year’s protocols become more stringent and provide increased challenges for vehicle development. In 2023, in line with its Vision 2030, Euro NCAP will be focusing on a range of new aspects. For example, we are putting in place autonomous emergency braking (AEB) protocols for motorcycles as well as new scenarios in passive safety for pedestrians and cyclists, extending the area where these two vulnerable users might interact with a vehicle. This is necessary progress in safety for other road users, and we are collaborating closely with the industry to ensure we meet Vision Zero objectives and that the demands of the protocols are met.
To encourage safety development and upgrades, the organization mandates car manufacturers to have the same car re-tested or re-assessed to the new rating “following meaningful safety improvements”. Therefore, we often see the same car in multiple tests that provide reports in any given period of time.
