In line with the Vehicle Pillar of the United Nations Decade of Action for Global Road Safety 2011 2020 in elevating motor vehicle safety standards and encouraging a market for safer vehicles in the region, a new car assessment program for Southeast Asian countries (ASEAN NCAP) was recently established. During the first phase of the program, seven popular car models were selected and tested according to European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) protocol on offset frontal crash test. Thus, this paper reports the results for the completed phase along with the ratings for adult and child occupant protections. Future developments of this program as well as manufacturer responses are also discussed.
