ASIA –
Summary: The 2025 NCAP World Congress stressed the need for enhanced global collaboration as electrification and autonomous technology transform vehicle safety evaluation. Euro NCAP’s 2026 update will introduce multivariable testing (weather, lighting, road conditions) to assess ADAS performance in real-world scenarios and raise scoring thresholds. International cooperation includes standardised test parameters and mutual recognition agreements to reduce redundant testing and compliance costs. China NCAP has contributed unique traffic scenario evaluations—including expanded pedestrian testing for high-density urban environments—that have influenced Australian and Latin American standards. The goal: halve global road deaths by 2030 (2024: 1.19 million, according to the CDC).
