Australasia’s trusted voice on vehicle
Australasia’s trusted voice on vehicle safety marks 30 years.
Established in the early 1990s as just the second New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) in the world after the United States, ANCAP SAFETY and its star ratings have become synonymous among Australian and New Zealand new car buyers, vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators as the independent and trusted voice on vehicle safety.
What began as a two-year campaign to shine a light on the comparable levels of safety offered by Australia’s most popular selling models has grown to become the priority measure used to determine the safety of new vehicles.
Until ANCAP’s establishment in the early 1990s, there was no way for car buyers to see how well, or not, their vehicle performed in a crash, nor any incentive for manufacturers to fast-track safety improvements in their models. Today, ANCAP safety ratings are a valuable consumer tool and one of the most sought-after aspects when purchasing a new vehicle.
Today, consumers and fleet purchasers expect the highest levels of safety, and vehicle manufacturers work hard to not only satisfy the market, but lead the development of new safety features and technologies.
In ANCAP’s 30 years, countless new tests and assessments have been introduced, and existing ones enhanced. Minimum safety requirements have increased across all star rating levels, and more sophisticated testing, assessment and rating methods developed.
Take a look back through the years to see how ANCAP safety ratings have progressed.
