AASA & Global NCAP

The #SaferCarsForAfrica Campaign was launched by Global NCAP in 2017 with the objective of promoting safer vehicles across the continent of Africa. In collaboration with the AA, Global NCAP crash tests vehicles available locally in South Africa and rates them according to the safety they provide the occupants of the vehicle. The #SaferCarsForAfrica programme is supported by the FIA Foundation and Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Latest #SAFERCARSFORAFRICA results

Global NCAP’s new #SaferCarsForAfrica crash results reveal a disappointing two-star occupant safety rating for the Kia Pegas and Renault Triber and only one star for the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.

Global NCAP’s crash test protocols assess frontal and side impact protection for all models, as well as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Pedestrian protection and side pole impact protection assessments are required for vehicles scoring the highest star ratings. More information on the protocol requirements can be found on the Global NCAP web site:hVps://www.globalncap.org/resources. The #SaferCarsforAfrica project is run in collaboration with the Automobile Association of South Africa (AA) and receives grant support from Bloomberg Philanthropies and the FIA Foundation.
