Speaking of automobile crash tests, everyone immediately thought of the domestic China Insurance Research Institute and China Automotive Research Institute. These two institutions have been on the forefront for the past two years. Every time a crash test, some moths can come out. Credibility It's not as good as before, and even when it comes to China Automobile Research Institute, the first reaction of netizens is "Five Star Wholesale Department".
Since everyone feels that the two major domestic collision agencies are unreliable, then I will give you an inventory today. The four most authoritative foreign collision testing institutions are popularized according to their authority, from high to low.
1, NHTSA
NHTSA, the full English name is National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which translates to the U.S. Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is the highest authority for automobile safety in the U.S. government. In theory, it is the United States The most authoritative collision agency, in fact, is also. This organization has been conducting crash tests on common domestic models since 1978. It is the first government agency to implement crash tests in the United States. Therefore, the annual crash test results are not only recognized by local consumers in the United States, but also highly recognized by consumers worldwide. Recognized.
NHTSA mainly evaluates the safety of vehicles by measuring the full two-way (frontal and side) impacts suffered by the simulator. The most representative collision projects are the frontal 100% overlapping rigid barrier collision test (56km/h), the side movable barrier 27 degree collision test (61km/h), and the 75 degree side column collision test (32km/h) .
2. IIHS
The full name of IIHS is Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which is the American Highway Safety Insurance Association. It is jointly funded and established by a number of insurance companies in the United States. Unlike NHTSA, this is a completely private organization.
Since 1995, IIHS has started crash tests on new cars,The more representative evaluation items in IIHS include frontal 40% overlapping deformable barrier crash test (64km/h), frontal small-scale overlap crash test (64km/h), roof static pressure test and rear impact neck protection test .
The NHTSA and IIHS crash test projects are combined, which can almost be called the benchmark in the industry, and its authority is of course self-evident.
3. E-NCAP
E-NCAP, the European New Car Safety Evaluation Association, is also an official organization. It was founded in 1997 and was initiated by the governments of five European countries. Later, other EU countries joined one after another. Today, all new cars to be sold in the EU must pass the E-NCAP evaluation. Therefore, E-NCAP is also one of the most authoritative safety certification agencies in the automotive industry.
E-NCAP test items are composed of four major items, namely member protection evaluation, child protection evaluation, pedestrian protection evaluation, and safety system evaluation. It is worth mentioning that pedestrian protection evaluation is a major feature of E-NCAP.
4. J-NCAP
J-NCAP, the full name is Japan-New Car Assessment Program. As the name suggests, it is the Japanese Automobile Safety Assessment Agency, which is funded by the state and commissioned by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to conduct the assessment. One point different from the previous three collision mechanisms is that it uses a unique 6-star evaluation system.
As we all know, Japanese cars have a pivotal position in the global automobile market, so the local J-NCAP in Japan also enjoys a high degree of authority in the industry. Its collision items include frontal rigid barrier collision with 100% overlap rate (55Km/h), 40% overlap rate of deformable barrier (64Km/h), side collision (55Km/h), and pedestrian protection ( 44Km/h) and the speed of the child seat (55Km/h) are also important assessment categories.
Summary:
It is very important for consumers to buy a safe car. The above 4 collision agencies are all very authoritative. You can refer to them when buying a car.
