countries.
 We covered minimum of 50% from the TIV of ASEAN
General inquiries: [email protected]
Markets.
 ASEAN NCAP (4-star) widely accepted as reference
‘standard’ for countries without crash regulation.
2
Executive Summary
 ASEAN NCAP understood that new technology has been

developed rapidly in the area of driving assist. ASEAN
NCAP encouraged manufacturer to develop and equip the
latest vehicle with the system with priority to be given to a
system which able to help to reduce motorcyclist incidents
and fatalities.
 The roadmap has been produced through open and close

consultation with car manufacturer, NCAPs colleagues and

ASEAN NCAP Stakeholders.

Problem
 In order to achieve desirable result in future, priority need to

be given based on road user.
 Distribution of road safety deaths by road user type as
follows;
Country 4 wheels 2/3 wheels Cyclist Pedestrian Others
Indonesia 6.1 35.7 1.7 21.1 35.4
Laos 14.6 74.4 1.3 6.3 3.4

Problem
 The developing country will require a convenience mobility.

Motorcycle will be efficient non safe mobility.
 Tata has introduced the “0 Star” Tata NANO in Myanmar.
 In Cambodia, dumping grounds for second hand car from developed
countries?. ASEAN NCAP hopes that the imported second hand car
will satisfy minimum safety level to reduce mishaps.
 It will be ASEAN NCAP responsibility to drive manufacturer to
provide a safer car to be offered for the region.
 safety can and must be affordable.

 Safety is not a privilege of the rich, but the right for all.
6
Problem
 Our outcome depends on what we focus.

 There is a need to understand 15-29 years old group socio
demographic in ASEAN for better implementation of
strategy.
 Minimize their exposure to non safe mobility by providing
safe and affordable alternatives.
 Producing safer and affordable vehicle. ASEAN NCAP

encourage and challenge manufacturer to produce safer and

safer vehicle.
7
Problem
 As a conclusion, producing safer mobility is not rhetoric.
Understanding industry situation and consistently negotiate to
produce the utmost result is the best way to handle NCAP
program in the region.
 Definitely, producing affordable safer vehicle will be one of the
road safety solution, but not the total solution.
 There is millions on non-safe vehicle running on ASEAN
streets, its unfinished business of vehicle safety fighters.

Strategic Approaches
 For ASEAN NCAP to achieve its target, several strategic approaches have been
addressed for immediate execution;
 Reliable database of road fatalities and accidents
 Effective communication with consumer and stakeholders.
 Encouragement of crash avoidance technology fitment especially related to
collision with motorcycle.
 Supporting motorcyclist PPE and active safety devices i.e. ABS for
Motorcycle.
 Promoting safer cars.
 Removal of non safer cars from the system
 Highlights on the aged car and after-repaired issues - crashworthy and
roadworthy.
 Improving safety beyond rating (Research Test i.e. braking and pedestrian).

Encouragement of Crash
Avoidance Technology
 Focus to avoid collision with motorcycle.
 The recent technology of AEB must work for avoiding or

mitigating collision with m/c, otherwise the great potential
impact of AEB is not unlocked to the region.
 Lane watch and BSI that work to prevent collision with m/c
 Although ASEAN NCAP highly promoted the fitment of

latest crash avoidance technology in our market, the focus

should be on how we can save motorcyclist.
13
Encouragement of Crash
Avoidance Technology
 Simple yet effective solution would be able to reduce

motorcyclist casualty.
14
Promoting Safer Cars
 ASEAN NCAP focus on Top 30 of ASEAN volumes with

minimum of 4-star rating.
 However, it is very dynamic and keep changing position

year by year.
 To maintain the exclusivity of Top 30, ASEAN NCAP

reconsidering to further looks into Top 50 for ensuring the
safety quality of Top 30 cars.
 Manufacturer is encouraged to launch the new vehicle with

rating. 15
 ASEAN NCAP also need to consider other people movers

such as Van, because it is also among top 30 vehicle i.e.
Daihatsu Granmax, Suzuki Futura, Mitsubishi L300).
 A special edition of ASEAN NCAP may be introduced in

special phase to cover this type of vehicle.
16
 ASEAN NCAP fully support the Global NCAP Fleet

Safety Guide and Safer Car Purchasing Policy 2014-
2015.
 Although ASEAN NCAP mainly about passenger cars, there

should be a synergize activity to level up motorcycle safety.
ABS system, passive safety of car for motorcyclist
 ASEAN NCAP would play a major role in encouraging

partnership with Motorcycle industry.
17
Affordable Safety
 During the starting of ASEAN NCAP, many have

commented that “safety = expensive”, now we finally can
enjoy 4-star car with affordable price.
 RM24,900 / THB 250K / IDR 92M /SGD 9800 / USD
8000 / EU 6000 / YEN 800K

Removal of non safer car in
the system
 Pre-ASEAN vehicles on the road

 Some old cars are not crashworthiness and roadworthiness –
mainly for mobility needs.
 ASEAN NCAP is exploring for methods to discourage the
usage of such.
20
Crash Compatibility
 Pick Up is the most selling vehicle in the region.

 Thus crash compatibility between Pick Up versus another
vehicle has to be explored.
21
From current to 2016
 To stabilize the rating and maturing the development of new

vehicle, ASEAN NCAP will maintained its current protocol
until end of 2016 except for Side Impact R95 requirements.
 Starting 2015, Side Impact R95 is mandatory for 3-star car and
above.
For option test with launching, R95 certificate is acceptable.
Other than above, test need to be conducted at ASEAN NCAP
official laboratory.
22
From current to 2016
 To ensure the repeatability and quality, ASEAN NCAP is

undertaking reassessment or audit test at the moment.
 Priority to the car that has extended their ratings for example MIRAGE
to ATTRAGE.
 Deviation of safety items for example the introduction of new variant
without top tether where else it was tested with it before.
 Working on New Rating and possible testing protocol.
Technical Committee will announce by January 2016.
23
Development of new testing
regime 2016 ~ 2020
 ASEAN NCAP wish to focus on developing new testing

regime as below;
New combined rating system

Frontal Occupant Protection
Lateral Occupant Protection
Child Occupant Protection
Safety Assist Technology
24
Current Plate
25
New Rating
• Although 5-star+ is not introduced; the new rating

will separate higher achievers from the ordinary 5-
star.
• Also to ensure the proper distribution of weightage
for each star ratings.
– Previously, difference between 5 & 4-star is by
ESC & SBR. 4-star doesn’t need to have any SBR,
ESC or even ABS.
26
New Rating
• ASEAN NCAP has witnessed many miss use of dual ratings.

– Usually display higher variant.
• This is not effective for ASEAN as a region
– 4-star label may be display in country where only 0-star variant is
available.
• ASEAN NCAP notes of the recent development of Euro
NCAP – from single to dual star rating.
• ASEAN NCAP understands the move is to promote more
safety assist technology in a mature market.

• Hence, for ASEAN NCAP foresee that single rating is more
effective for the region to promote safer vehicle.
27
New Rating
• New Rating would be separated in 3 categories;

– Adult Occupant Protection (AOP)
– Child Occupant Protection (COP)
– Safety Assist Technology (SAT)
• The new rating may be as the followings:
– AOP (50%) [ current ]
– COP & SAT (25%+25%=50%) [future]
28
Draft Combined Rating
ASEAN NCAP: Safer cars for today and

future
29
Frontal Occupant Protection
 Development of new test protocols i.e. full frontal etc.

 Minimum points for 5-star, will current 14 points good
enough or too stringent.
 Will further analyze by considering compatibility study, pre-
NCAP vehicle real world crashworthiness study.
 The main debate will be portion of frontal in combined
rating, thus detail study need to be done.
 Additional test protocols will be explored. ASEAN NCAP
will also refer to the Euro NCAP latest plan on offset front
impact protection (to improve structural engagement for a
broad range of vehicles)
30
Lateral Occupant Protection
 Portion of combined ratings need to be developed based on

real world crash study.
 New NCAP side impact test will be considered together

with Q1.5 & Q3 dummy.
 Development of Curtain Airbag Evaluation to replace pole

test.
31
Child Occupant Protection
 Q1.5 & Q3 expected to be delivered to MIROS PC3 by End

of 2015.
 Development test will start by 2016.
 New point system will be introduced.
 Why not having our own ASEAN NCAP Child Seat?

Possible solution for safer, affordable and practical CRS.
32
Safety Assist Technology
 Protocols for SBR and ESC need to be developed within

2015.
 Will be follow closely the Euro NCAP case study on PTW

2017/2018, especially on AEB development for Motorcycle
 Shall prioritize on SATs that suitable to save motorcyclist in

ASEAN region.
 Suitability of the system/device in the region has to be

explored together with OEM.
