The European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) is a European car safety performance assessment programme founded in 1997 by the Transport Research Laboratory for the UK Department for Transport, and is now the standard throughout Europe. Euro NCAP is backed by the governments of the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Spain, as well as insurance, motoring, and consumer organisations. Euro NCAP publishes safety reports on new cars and awards 'star ratings' based on the performance of the vehicles in a variety of crash tests, including front, side, and pole impacts, and impacts with pedestrians. The top overall rating is five stars. Since 2020, the organisation has extended its evaluations to commercial vehicles. In November 2024, Euro NCAP released the very first results of the “Safer Trucks” programme, with trucks being evaluated for key aspects of their safety performance: safe driving, crash avoidance, and post-crash safety.
