What failing the crash test means for cars, carmakers and consumers

Five Indian cars were tested in the latest round of crash tests conducted by Global NCAP, a UK-based road safety NGO that counts Bloomberg Philanthropies, FIA Foundation (the governing body for Formula 1 racing), International Consumer Testing and Research, and the Road Safety Fund among its promoters. NCAP stands for New Car Assessment Programme, a series of safety tests instituted by Global NCAP that has editions in several car markets, and assesses safety and build quality parameters in new vehicles. The higher the NCAP score, the safer the car is supposed to be. All five cars tested in India ? the Renault Kwid, Maruti Suzuki Celerio, Maruti Suzuki Eeco, Mahindra Scorpio and Hyundai Eon ? were given the lowest rating (zero out of a maximum five stars) for safety by the agency in its third round of crash tests conducted on Indian cars. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/explained/what-failing-the-crash-test-means-for-cars-carmakers-and-consumers-2807746/#sthash.JRg9aoeu.dpuf
