European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP)

The European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) is an organization that tests and rates the safety of new cars sold in Europe. Using crash tests, safety equipment evaluations, and technology assessments, Euro NCAP provides safety ratings from one to five stars. These ratings help consumers compare vehicles based on safety performance, encouraging manufacturers to develop safer cars. The organization's goal is to improve vehicle safety standards and reduce road injuries and fatalities by providing transparent, independent evaluations.
