Maruti Suzuki Swift, Datsun Go to fail crash tests
Maruti Suzuki Swift and Nissan Datsun GO failed to pass the Global New Car Assessment Program NCAP by an independent British charity focused on vehicles for consumer safety initiatives.
According to the Global NCAP, an umbrella organization of automobile safety testing organizations of consumers, crash test of the Datsun GO and Swift have shown a high risk of injury.
Max Mosley, president, Global NCAP, said, India has the potential to be a world leader in the automotive industry, but Indian consumers are unaware of how they would be dangerous in case of accident.
He said India is launching a consumer NCAP test program, which would be a step forward for security, but regulation based on minimum crash test standards of the UN are also needed if this occurs every new car sold in India would have an appropriate structure and collision airbags, said Mosley.
Both cars received any security for their star adult occupant protection However, the Swift marked a star for occupant protection for children The tests were performed at a speed of 64 km per hour.
The Swift structure showed signs of collapse in the accident and was considered unstable lack of car airbags standard adjustment meant that the head driver in direct contact with the wheel - the dummy readings indicate high likelihood of fatal injuries, said global NCAP, in a statement.
The Datsun GO scored two stars for protection of children's occupants the release, the vehicle Datsun GO structure collapsed in the accident and was considered the lack of airbags of the car unstable means that the head of the conductor in direct contact with the steering wheel and the dashboard - the dummy readings indicate a high probability of serious injury the failure of the body shell makes it unnecessary to install an airbag However, unlike the Datsun GO in Swift mount with airbags improve occupant protection, the statement said.
Guillaume Sicard, Chairman, Nissan India Operations, said: The Datsun GO meets the regulations on local vehicles needed in India The Datsun GO was developed with a strong intention to provide the best locally adapted solutions from best to brake class and good visibility sustainability, seating comfort and reduces motion sickness - just be seen as a package aims to reduce the potential risk of road accidents.
Security is important and is a key issue in India automotive regulatory standards are constantly evolving and as a global manufacturer of fast-growing countries, we are ready to adopt and promote the development of standards in standards vehicle safety, said Sicard.
A request to Maruti Suzuki, looking commented the results of crash tests, remained unanswered.
Earlier this year, the best-selling small car in India, including Maruti Alto 800, Tata Nano, Ford Figo, Hyundai i10 and Volkswagen Polo, had failed World NCAP Tests on cars - bought Indian showrooms and later delivered to the test facility - has highlighted gaps in the structural integrity of the vehicles tested only the entry-level variants were selected for testing these vehicles are not generally airbags, a prerequisite globally to pass a safety test.
Combined sales of these five cars accounted for about 20 percent of all new cars sold in India last year's crash tests were conducted at 64 kmph.
NCAP also evaluated against the same models the crash UN base and test all cars, except for the Volkswagen Polo adopted this minimum standard This 40 percent frontal impact test at 56 kmph shift is now widely applied by the major producing countries and regions, including Australia, China, the EU, Japan and Malaysia.
The Global Plan for the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety recommends that all Member States apply the standard, although it is not applied in India Although India recording the most road casualties in the world, the share saving features like airbags in cars and sport utility vehicles is among the lowest in the world's customers in India usually compromise on security to benefit from the lower price tags.
