The Global New Car Assessment Programme (Global NCAP) was established in 2011 to serve
as a platform for cooperation among new car assessment programmes (NCAPs) around the world and to share best practice in the use of consumer information promoting motor vehicle safety.
Over the next 10 years the number of passenger cars in use worldwide is forecast to almost double. Most of that growth is taking place in emerging markets where the road safety challenge is greatest. NCAPs have proved highly effective in encouraging car purchasers to choose safer products and in improving outcomes for the victims of road crashes.
Global NCAP supports the development of NCAPs in emerging markets and promotes the widest application of United Nations vehicle safety standards. Global NCAP strongly supports the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 which aims to cut in half the predicted increase in road fatalities by 2020 and is a member of the UN Road
Safety Collaboration.
Global NCAP is a charity registered in the United Kingdom (No. 1141798).
