Latin NCAP rated more than 70 vehicles We warned about models with poor safety levelsAnd that structures are vital to offer an acceptable protection

Latin NCAP warned that only airbags is not enough Latin NCAP recommended to governments to adopt UN regulationsUN94 (frontal impact) - UN95 (side impact)

Latin NCAP compared models: Models that look the same like in other regions but theyperform differently under the same crash test conditions

How do we do it

CorazonInjury criteria

56 km/h 64 km/hUN-R94We are all humans, and certain crash conditions will cause on all of us the same effect. PASSFAILInjury levels

*The crash test is a frontal offset (40%) test. It is a structure test (ECE94) against a deformable barrier.
