The Secretary General of Euro NCAP, Michiel van Ratingen, has expressed his dissatisfaction with European incentive policy. He points out that governments subsidize the purchase of electric vehicles to reduce emissions, but completely ignore road safety. No country applies similar aid to encourage the choice of cars with 5 Euro NCAP stars, despite their direct impact on saving lives.🚗
Safety technology as a pending subject in aid⚠️
Driver assistance systems, occupant protection, and pedestrian collision prevention have evolved. Achieving 5 stars requires robust safety equipment and advanced technologies. However, these innovations do not receive the same fiscal support as an electric car's battery. Propulsion is prioritized over protection, even though both aspects are key to the mobility of the future.
Prize for clean exhaust, forgetfulness for effective airbags🤔
It seems the official logic is clear: <strong
