Delhi, November 3, 2014 - Global NCAP, the umbrella organization of automobile safety test organisms for consumption, welcomes the initiative of the Indian government to launch a new car assessment program NCAP, but believes that this positive development should be accompanied by measures to implement the United Nation s minimum crash test standards.
India is now the world's fifth largest producer of passenger cars, but new independent crash tests show why the country should use internationally accepted standards of safety crash tests Datsun Go and Maruti-Suzuki Swift Nissan demonstrate a high risk fatal injuries with both cars receiving zero-star safety rating for adult occupant protection These risks would be significantly reduced if the cars had to comply with the UN control regulations for frontal and side impact.
Global NCAP president Max Mosley said that India could be a world leader in the automotive industry, but Indian consumers are not aware of how dangerous they would be in case of an accident that is the reason we are very pleased that India is launching a consumer test NCAP would be a step forward for security, but a regulation based on the minimum UN crash test standards are also needed if this happens each new car sold in India would have an appropriate structure collision and airbags.
Global NCAP Secretary General David Ward said that we welcome the initiative of the Indian government to launch its own NCAP and recommends that this positive step is associated with the implementation of UN regulations for frontal and side fast action such as this this would prevent the introduction of brand new models like the Datsun Go, which has such a small body structure is no need to install an airbag M. Ward added that it is disappointing to see a global company like Nissan launches a new car design in 2014 thus clearly falls short of the United Nations security standards it goes against the objectives of the Decade of Action United Nations.

Baluja congratulated the Department of Highways road transport for their initiative with the automotive industry to start the process of the Indian NCAP and towards setting a regulatory structure Baluja however stressed that if the US launched process of having an NCAP in 1979, and most of the automobile manufacturing countries have followed suit, India is far behind and must fulfill both the information process for the consumer and the NCAP regulations later 2016.
