Who funds the crashed car models used in Euro NCAP’s tests? Each member of Euro NCAP pays to have at least one car model tested each year. Car manufacturers can also request that their car is tested. In such circumstances, manufacturers pay for the testing but they have no control over the publishing of the results. Euro NCAP obtains the cars in a number of ways. In each case, care is taken to ensure that the cars are built to normal production standards. It is clearly important to ensure that we do not test cars which are specially prepared for us. Normally, the cars are paid for by the sponsor of the tests.
How do you choose which cars to test? Euro NCAP and its members have limited funds and, unfortunately, we cannot test every model that comes onto the market. However, we want to provide information that is useful to as many people as possible so we try to test those vehicles which will sell in greatest numbers. Euro NCAP’s members nominate cars for testing. The cars they choose may be important to the whole European market or they may have a particular relevance to the member’s home country. The Euro NCAP Secretariat and the Board of Directors try to ensure that most important new models are included in the programme. Inevitably, some cars will not be tested

*即使車廠願意提供測試,但是還是要求要有跟量產版一樣的車型去測試
但是他們也有免責聲明
Important: The cars selected by Euro NCAP have been tested with safety equipment that may not be available in regions outside Europe. Therefore, the star rating may not always apply in your country.
