 TNCAP Edition 2 approvedOn May 22, 2024, the Ministry of Transportation approved the second edition of the Taiwan New Car Assessment Program (TNCAP) . Starting from 2026, the safety assessment of new cars in the Republic of China (Taiwan) will be conducted in accordance with these protocals. In order to keep in line with the international new car safety assessment standards and develop localized assessment projects, TNCAP edition 2 continued to introduce the new version of the Euro NCAP assessment standards.

For drivers of large SUVs, their imposing size comes with a sense of security. But some models are safer than others, new ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show. The Jeep Wagoneer is the only model out of three popular large SUVs tested to qualify for a 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK award. Other bestsellers, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition, fell short for multiple reasons, including subpar performance in the small overlap front crash test. More than 90 % of new models have sailed through this evaluation with good ratings since 2021.
Autoliv continues its journey to a sustainable future by introducing airbag cushions made of 100 % recycled polyester which significantly reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint of airbags. In collaboration with key supply chain partners, Autoliv has developed yarns, fabrics, and cushions made from 100 % recycled polyester for use in airbag production. The completed testing of the new material demonstrates that the airbag cushion provides equal safety functionality to a standard polyester airbag while reducing GHG emissions by approximately 50 % at the polymer level.
Automated driving can only work if vehicles can also use external data as input for driving. But how do you ensure that unreliable data that could lead to errors or even accidents are not used? TNO is addressing key cyber security & trust questions in the automotive sector and is working with partners in the value chain to find solutions. The Netherlands must take the lead.
Skoda Auto has inaugurated new facilities for the Emissions Centre and a brand-new Simulation Centre in Mladá Boleslav. Following investments of almost 22 million, the laboratory will bolster the car manufacturer's in-house development capabilities within the Technical Development department. The state-of-the-art technologies allow for the precise and accurate simulation of a wide range of climatic conditions, enabling comprehensive tests that mimic real-world operations.
UTAC has partnered with DNV, a certification body that holds a leading position globally. DNV specializes in the certification of management systems, as well as in training and digital asset assessment. UTAC and DNV both offer a comprehensive suite of certification services to meet the cybersecurity and regulatory needs of the automotive industry around the following standards: ISO 21434, ISO 26262, ISO 24089.
STMicroelectronics has introduced new automotive-qualified step-down synchronous DC/DC converters that save space and ease integration in applications including body electronics, audio systems, and inverter gate drivers. The A6983 converters offer flexible design choices, comprising six non-isolated step-down converters in low-consumption and low-noise configurations and the A6983I isolated buck converter. With compensation circuitry on-chip, these highly integrated monolithic devices need only minimal external components including filtering, feedback, and a transformer with the A6983I.
More than 60 % of drivers would find it acceptable if their vehicle provided an audible and visual warning when they exceeded the posted speed limit, a new survey from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows. Perhaps more surprisingly, about half of drivers say they wouldn't mind vehicle technology that makes the accelerator pedal harder to press or automatically restricts speed.
SAFER concluded the second Project Result Day at SAFER during the spring. The partners have shared plenty of knowledge, with many projects presented and discussed. Helena Gellerman from Swedish Parliament illustrated how SAFER's partners' research has influenced parliamentary decisions. She emphasized that policymaking takes time, urging us to be patient and continue our research efforts.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released its first projections for traffic fatalities in 2024, estimating that 8,650 people died in traffic crashes in the first three months of the year. This represents a decrease of about 3.2 % as compared to 8,935 estimated fatalities during the same period in 2023.
Through elections held in the General Assembly in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Latin NCAP members have re-elected Stephan Brodziak in representation of El Poder del Consumidor, as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the next 3 years. Stephan Brodziak continues his work as President which began in 2020.
Audi is increasing the pace of development. With the Audi Agenda, the Four Rings under the leadership of CEO Gernot Döllner have made clear which areas the company is focusing on. The focus will be on products and technologies, as well as on quality and innovation. The next step has now been taken. Through the decision to create a dedicated position for Innovation and Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) on the Board of Management, the Supervisory Board is emphasizing the coherent new direction of the organization and continuing to give software a central role.
