Euro NCAP: raising car safety standards
ICRT was a founding member of the Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) crash test programme in 1996. We have been influential in improving car safety from the early days of Euro NCAP.
More recently, we have been closely involved in setting up Green NCAP , which focuses on cars’ environmental impact, and Latin NCAP, plus the launch of the Global NCAP programme. The CEO of ICRT, Niels Ebbe Jacobsen, is also chairman and President of Euro NCAP.
