Euro NCAP reveals details of the first ever Heavy Truck safety rating tests at NCAP24
Euro NCAP has made history with the announcement of its inaugural Heavy Truck Safety Rating Tests at NCAP24, marking a significant milestone in the pursuit of safer roads across Europe. With trucks accounting for a disproportionate number of road fatalities, Euro NCAP's groundbreaking initiative aims to address this critical issue by evaluating and benchmarking truck performance in terms of safety.
Despite comprising only 3% of vehicles on European roads, trucks are involved in nearly 15% of all road fatalities in the EU. This alarming disparity underscores the urgent need for enhanced safety measures within the heavy truck industry.
