A first ever High Level Meeting on Road Safety has heard calls for action and funding, as ministers and officials met at UN headquarters in New York.

Chile has announced it will include NCAP safety ratings on labelling for new vehicle models, the first country in the region to do so. The move follows years of testing and advocacy for labelling in the country by New Car Assessment Programme for Latin America and the Caribbean (Latin NCAP), which was supported by the FIA Foundation.

This paper aims to contribute to achieving a ‘safe and healthy journey for every child’. This is a key part of the Habitat III New Urban Agenda, and will contribute to achieving a range of Sustainable Development Goals.

New Global NCAP car-to-car crash test results, supported by the FIA Foundation, is demonstrating the double standards that apply to vehicle safety across national borders ahead of the first UN General Assembly High Level meeting on Road Safety.

The FIA Foundation hosted its ‘Design for Life: for people & planet’ Forum in London, with policymakers, partners and supporters, as part of a celebration of its twentieth anniversary.

Almost 12 million serious injuries to children and youth can be prevented between now and 2050 if proven road safety interventions are implemented across 77 low- and middle-income countries, according to new modelling by the Victoria University Melbourne’s Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, in a new study commissioned by the FIA Foundation.

THUMS (Total Human Model for Safety) is a computer model that represents the human body, able to simulate injuries for real-life safety research that is difficult to measure on crash test dummies. Supplementing the existing methodology of full-scale real car crash testing, THUMS and the continual advance in computer capabilities is allowing the testing to move into the virtual world. Multiple changes to vehicle design, be that the seats, seatbelts, or chassis can now be iterated through to determine the safest installations, as well as allowing accident and injury reconstruction.

The UN Road Safety Fund has launched its 2021 Annual Report with public and private sector and civil society partners, including the FIA Foundation, at a media event during the International Transport Forum Summit in Leipzig, Germany.

Over the past two years the FIA Foundation’s Board of Trustees has undertaken an in-depth review of our work and our future strategy. As we enter the UN Decade of Action for the Sustainable Development Goals, and a second Decade of Action for Road Safety, what do we as a Foundation want to help to achieve by 2030? There are six, inter-related, goals that we want to influence.
