Conclusions: Adult Occupant protection

Role of NCAPs in emerging marketsNCAPs in emerging markets are becoming a solid reference point and a powerful source of information for consumers and governments.

NCAPs highlighted the importance and need of performance based regulations and the need of a solid control of those regulations

Car manufacturers can produce the latest platforms and improve their structures in short time but they can also remove reinforcements in short time as well.

Thank you very much!.www.globalncap.org

Body shell integrity is critical for the protection of occupants. Without adequate body shell strength

there is no point in fitting airbags.
