Euro NCAP

A blue car is positioned on a test rig inside a large, well-lit garage, with the Euro NCAP logo prominently displayed above it.

The European New Car Assessment Programme, founded in 1996, that crashes new cars into walls, poles and each other on behalf of consumers. Its five-star rating system has driven manufacturers to make structural and restraint changes that would not have been commercially rational under regulation alone. Its standard frontal test runs at 56 km/h into a deformable barrier offset to the driver's side.
