15 March 2023, Jakarta, Indonesia – The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) today announced its fourth roadmap for 2026-2030. The new roadmap maintains the four assessment pillars under the current 2021-2023 protocol; Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), Child Occupant Protection (COP), Safety Assist (SA) and Motorcyclist Safety (MS).
The weightage scoring for each assessment category still remains the same as the current 2021-2025 protocol, which are AOP at 40%, COP, SA and MS are all at 20% for every category. Nevertheless, ASEAN NCAP has revised several scoring criteria for certain technologies. Technologies that are affected with increased scoring criteria are Child Presence Detection, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) Inter Urban, Lane Support, Auto High Beam/Adaptive Driving Beam and AEB for Motorcycle.
The completed ASEAN NCAP roadmap for 2026-2030 can be downloaded from the following link. The table containing the final calculation scoring of the new roadmap can be referred on pages 12-13 of the booklet.
