Abstract

64km/h frontal offset crash tests are conducted by consumer crash test programs in Australia/New Zealand, Europe, the USA, Korea and Japan. Data from ANCAP and Euro NCAP crash tests are analysed and trends for head, chest and leg protection and structural performance are discussed. Vehicle designs have evolved to provide better occupant protection in frontal offset crashes. Consumer crash test programs have accelerated this process.
