Euro NCAP Commercial Vans Test and Assessment Protocol

27 June 2023

Euro NCAP’s Commercial Van Safety ratings are designed to encourage wider fitment of ADAS, promote robust performance and help fleet operator and business owners to make safer choices.

The van ratings aim to:

▪ Accelerate standardisation of safety functions on commercial vans ahead of, and over and beyond, the basic requirements of the General Safety Regulation 2;

▪ Improve performance of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) on commercial vans, to match the state-of-the-art technology fitted to passenger cars;

▪ Call on fleet operators to take responsibility for the safety of their drivers and to demand a minimum silver-level performance in Euro NCAP’s new ranking scheme when making purchasing decisions;

▪ Improve information from commercial van manufacturers, on websites and in marketing material, regarding the safety features available on their vehicles.

This Commercial Vans Test and Assessment Protocol is an addendum to the existing passenger car safety testing protocols and details specific requirements relating to the safety testing of Commercial Vans. It also describes the details of the overall scoring of Commercial Vans.
