Scorpio, Kwid, Eon Celerio Eeco and get zero in global NCAP crash tests.
The overall results of the latest NCAP crash tests on five models of Indian cars Renault kwid, Maruti Suzuki Celerio, Maruti Suzuki Eeco, Mahindra Scorpio and Hyundai Eon are disappointing to say the least.
Security as a major figure of conducting business setting has never really presented on the top of the list, but gradually gained ground with consumers becoming more aware and more demanding global Source NCAP.
There are many parameters that must be considered when purchasing a vehicle in India is traditionally fuel economy, maintenance costs and ease of ownership, and value security resale as significant sales driving parameter has never really presented on the top of the list, but has gradually gained ground with consumers aware and more demanding.
The overall results of the latest NCAP crash tests on five models of Indian cars Renault Kwid Maruti Suzuki Maruti Suzuki Celerio Eeco Mahindra Scorpio and Hyundai Eon are disappointing to say the least.
It is expected that manufacturers will react with strong words for their models suggest that the cars comply with all Indian safety standards but is that really enough There might be discussions about the results of crash tests, questioning in particular the test methodology and the speed of 64 km h at which vehicles were subjected to an impact is greater ideal now, which is really ideal, anyway.
David Ward, Secretary General of Global NCAP, in a statement on the results of crash tests said the latest results SaferCarsforIndia show how important it is for cars to have a body shell that can remain stable in an accident This is a pre absolutely crucial requirements for occupant safety connection with at least air bags front.
The sensation of recent sales in the compact sedan segment, Renault Kwid, was tested in three versions, one with airbags, but all zero-rated variants for the safety of adults Ward, commenting Renault, said it is very surprising that a manufacturer like Renault introduced the first Kwid lack this essential feature world NCAP believes no manufacturer anywhere in the world should develop new models that are clearly under standard automakers must ensure that their new models pass the regulation of minimum crash tests of the UN, and using a bag holder.
He added, We welcome Renault's efforts to correct this and we look forward to test another improved version with airbags Renault has a strong record of safety achievements in Europe and it should offer the same commitment to customers in India.
Renault India has issued an official statement which said, GNCAP announced their results today and welcomed Renault's efforts and commitment to safety improvement Safety is of paramount importance to Renault and all our products meet and exceed the required safety standards established by the Indian regulatory authorities in India is gradually reaching out to international safety standards including more robust security policies and ensuring the NCAP Bharat is a positive step in this management as a business customer focused, Renault fully supports this initiative and we are ready for the future in terms of technology, design and engineering for improved safety for all vehicles of the Indian government announced that the crash test regulations for existing cars come into force in 2019 and for new cars in 2 017 Renault is committed to meeting these deadlines.
The problem here is that Renault says it is ready for the future in terms of technology If the company is ready for the future with consistent technologies, why is not it their implementation in the current range products We will give you the answer because they can, because they adhere to safety standards and regulations.
I'm not singling Renault here; This is for all manufacturers why can not take burden of proof and to give consumers something of great substance and value of its foundation created on the basis of security levels Consumers accept mediocre products because they re being forced to leave honest here how consumers really don t keep track of the best and the latest technological trends in automotive and security It is for manufacturers to raise awareness of their products through the world cries on driverless cars and so on, but what we should focus on especially in a highly cost and value sensitive country like India, which is fast becoming a global pillar for the industry over the next decade is enhanced safety and effective transport.
In this latest report, Global NCAP focused on cars that fall into the category of the most popular and most sold in India What's intriguing is greatly Mahindra Scorpio failure A default image of masculinity that gives a sense of the underlying security on a psychic level the Scorpio failed on interesting scientific, Maruti Suzuki Celerio is a global product and received a rating of 3 stars in its crash test Euro NCAP few years ago that provides critical comparative data between Celerio locally s against its global model and clearly shows that the Indian model is greatly compromised.
Occupants in all crash tests here include a conductor and an adult passenger seated in the rear are dummies representing a 18 month old and 3 year old In addition, all models are occupying belts of security.
Now, how often you see people in India wearing seat belts in urban centers, because the seat belts are mandatory and a fine, people will put them on, but only passengers before the rear passengers even in urban areas, don t care to wear seat belts and semi-urban cities and lower, even before passengers don t care much for them so imagine if the impact of the accident could have such a negative effect on the belted passengers, what is the extent of injuries sustained by the driver and passengers if they weren t belted It could be fatal.
According to Global NCAP test results for each car were described as.
The new Kwid without airbag scored zero stars in adult protection and two stars for occupant protection child occupants The structure does not collapse but was considered unstable and could not resist to other charges it was possible to see the structural reinforcements implemented this version of global NCAP Kwid but when checked the passenger left, there was no reinforcement structure has been strengthened only the driver's side.
The new Kwid with the addition of inflatable cushion of the driver was also tested This version also scored zero stars in adult occupant protection and two stars for occupant protection for children The structure is the same as the new kwid without airbags but high compression in the area of the dummy chest explains the low score.
Mahindra Scorpio scored zero stars in adult protection and two stars for occupant protection child occupants The collapse of the combined structure in the absence of airbags explains the score for adult occupant protection which means that it is a high likelihood of fatal injuries at least one adult passenger.
The airbag not Eeco scored zero stars in adult occupant protection and a star in the child occupant protection The structural collapse in the cockpit and the absence of airbags explained the poor result in protection adult occupant This model does not offer airbags optional given the airbags are not collapse of some structures may help avoid serious injury to the driver.
The Hyundai Eon is offered in the standard version without airbags He scored zero stars in adult protection and two stars for occupant protection child occupants of the unstable structure in the cockpit and the absence of airbags explained bad result for adult occupant protection.
The airbag not Maruti Suzuki Celerio scored zero stars for adult occupant protection and one star in occupant protection children Lack of airbags explained the poor result for adult occupant protection The low score on occupant protection of children is explained by the high values recorded in 3 year old child dummy and his excursion forward beyond the accepted limits.
