For more than 20 years, the Euro NCAP, or New Car Assessment Program, has set the standard for car safety thanks to its rigorous crash testing. With modern cars being more sophisticated and technologically advanced than ever before, it’s no surprise that safety has become more important than ever before.
Euro NCAP’s detailed and rigorous crash testing has saved thousands of lives over the course of its history existence, however, it wants to further increase safety by adding motorized two-wheelers to the equation. With motorcycles becoming more technologically advanced than ever before, it makes sense that motorcycles also undergo third-party assessment to determine their overall level of safety. On top of that, the recent proliferation of autopilot systems in cars, and the resulting increase in motorcycle-related accidents involving these systems is a clear indication that improvements are needed.
