The European new car certification center is introducing a new crash test, which is called "the biggest change in the past decade"

As part of the "European NCAP 2025" roadmap, these new tests will be launched later this year and applied to vehicles launched after 2020 to "solve the long-standing demand for occupant protection, improve post-collision protection and popularize the latest advanced driver assistance technology". This adjustment introduces new compatibility tests, which means that if larger vehicles are too hard in a collision, they will also be punished accordingly. This provides a level playing field for vehicles of all sizes and is regarded as a win-win situation under the goal of road safety.

In addition, a new medium-sized "Raytheon" dummy will be used in the test. Avery, the head of research institute Thatcham Research and a member of the European NCAP Committee, said: "The' Raytheon' dummy is the most advanced mannequin we have ever worked with. It is closer to the human body, which makes the new test especially challenging for automobile manufacturers. The dummy we used before was designed for today's unusual collision scenes, while the' Raytheon' dummy is much more complicated and sensitive, and can record abdominal injuries. "

Another update is about the side impact test. Avery commented: "We hope that car manufacturers can design cars that can provide isolation protection for passengers in the case of side collision. This test initially focused on protecting the occupants closest to the side collision, but now we will evaluate the secondary collision between the occupants on both sides after the collision. "

The world's most stringent automobile safety assessment agency has also added "active" safety tests to evaluate the performance of the new automatic emergency braking system. The last update of the European NCAP 2020 protocol is the safety after collision. Avery pointed out: "As the car becomes more and more complex, the scene faced by emergency personnel who arrive at the scene of the accident is becoming more and more complicated. Knowing where to cut the vehicle safely has become an increasingly challenging task, and automakers will now be rewarded for providing accurate rescue information. "
