🚨 Euro NCAP releases the first Truck Safe programme test protocols 🚨 Today, Euro NCAP unveils the test protocols that will support the framework for its new Truck Safe rating scheme and lead the way to Zero Crashes on European roads. 🛣️ "Euro NCAP’s new Truck Safe rating scheme, the first of its kind in the sector, will enable a whole range of stakeholders in the freight industry to assess the safety level of trucks. Not only will this deliver enhanced safety for truck drivers, but also protect pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users in European cities. It is not only about safety, as this programme intends to create strategic opportunities for those operators that invest in the safest vehicles. In creating a market for safety, Euro NCAP will encourage manufacturers and suppliers to innovate, further increasing the safety benefits of the scheme as the ratings evolve," states Matthew Avery, Euro NCAP's Director of Strategic Development. 🏙️ Test Protocols are released on Safe Driving and Collision Avoidance. A technical bulletin on Post-Crash Safety is included in this release. 🚛 Find them here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ebzaNz65 🚚 The results of the first trucks tested under this new Truck Safe rating scheme will be released at the end of the year. 📅 #protocols #forsafercars #forsafertrucks #devslaw #roadsafety #euroncap #cityandhighway #trucks #trucksafety #safetrucks #heavydutyvehicles #freight #logistics #fleet #HGVs #Nearside #Turn #technologies #truckmakers #forsaferjourneys #commercialfleet

The freight industry often gets a rough ride, but contrary to popular belief many truck manufacturers already go well beyond mandatory minimum standards. For example, higher performance AEB for vehicle collisions, AEB for pedestrian and cyclist collisions, direct vision, camera monitor systems and more. Despite many commercial challenges, there are also plenty of truck operators prepared to pay for the added safety those systems offer. This initiative from Euro NCAP can help to highlight that best practice, spread it across the industry and create the commercial environment that will in future enable manufacturers to invest even more in ever-better safety performance. There has been plenty of challenges along the way, and lots more still to do, but we at Apollo are very pleased that Trucks Euro NCAP trusted us to play our small part to help them get it to this point. We very much look forward to seeing the first scores come in and how it develops from there.

⭐ The Renault Trucks T achieves four stars ⭐ Euro NCAP - For Safer Cars, Vans & Trucks recently published the first set of results from its pioneering TRUCK SAFE assessment programme. The T, from the French Renault, takes a very good star rating of four stars. 🚚 The T earns a strong rating due largely to its high-quality Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS), getting balanced points across both Safe Driving and Collision Avoidance, most of which is standard fitment. It is more limited in its direct vision performance, although its recent addition of a CMS system has improved its overall Safe Driving score. Combined with the more limited direct vision, this makes it more suitable for the highway rather than the city. 🛣️ "Euro NCAP congratulates Renault Trucks on the impressive four-star performance of the T. The truck demonstrated very good collision avoidance and safe driving capabilities. Its advanced camera monitoring system significantly enhances driver visibility, proving that manufacturers can produce safer trucks to support the Vision Zero initiative," adds Matthew Avery, Euro NCAP Director of Strategic Development. ⚙️ Know more about its results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e2bf8CDv 🚛 Read the full press release here 👉https://lnkd.in/eK_tfktT 🚛 Renault Trucks #protocols #forsafercars #forsafertrucks #devslaw #roadsafety #euroncap #cityandhighway #trucks #trucksafety #safetrucks #heavydutyvehicles #freight #logistics #fleet #HGVs #Nearside #Turn #technologies #truckmakers #forsaferjourneys #commercialfleet #roadauthorities #saferroads #Renault #RenaultTrucksT
