Michiel van Ratingen, Euro NCAP secretary general, said: “C-NCAP, the Chinese car safety assessment programme, has been improving the standards for domestic models in China, however, many consumers are benchmarking the results to Euro NCAP which rating has a greater focus on the newest crash avoidance technologies being offered by vehicle manufactures. For this reason, Euro NCAP is now giving those Chinese speaking consumers in China and elsewhere better access to the car safety information officially published on Euro NCAP’s website.”

After English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Russian and Turkish, Chinese has become the 10th language in which content on the Euro NCAP website is available.
