Vehicle Assessment Programs

Vehicle Assessment Programs (VAPs) are systematic evaluations of vehicles to ensure they meet safety, environmental, and performance standards. They involve testing and inspections, such as crashworthiness, emissions, and everyday usability, often conducted by government agencies, industry groups, or independent organizations. The goal is to inform consumers, promote vehicle quality, and encourage manufacturers to improve safety and sustainability. In essence, VAPs provide unbiased insights into a vehicle’s overall reliability and compliance, helping buyers make informed choices and supporting regulatory efforts to enhance road safety and environmental protection.
