Euro NCAP’s road safety goal

Euro NCAP has signed up with football giants Real Madrid to enhance the pan-European debate on car safety issues.

Real Madrid has granted permission for the results of Euro NCAP’s latest testing to be unveiled at the Bernabeu Stadium, on the morning of Thursday November 25th, in a launch hosted by Spanish automobile club RACC.

Euro NCAP Chairman, Prof Claes Tingvall, said: “This media conference will tackle some very unpalatable statistics relating to the road deaths of thousands each year. We are delighted that Real Madrid and the RACC are helping bring the facts to the public.”

Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) provides motoring consumers with a realistic and independent assessment of the safety performance of some of the most popular cars sold in Europe. Established in 1997 and now backed by the FIA Foundation, five European Governments, the European Commission, and motoring and consumer organisations in every EU country, Euro NCAP has rapidly become a catalyst for encouraging significant safety improvements to new car design.
