System RuNCAP may be more demanding than Euro NCAP

after five years in Russia will have its own methodology crash tests RuNCAP. About it in interview "news" rasskazal head of Rosstandart Alexey Abramov.

Rosstandart will develop a domestic crash test together with the US Institute of road and Ministry of industry and trade. It is assumed that the RuNCAP will take into account the peculiarities of operation of vehicles and their components in different climatic conditions, because Russia is a country with variety of climates. Perhaps in this case, meaning the work of active safety systems.

will be based on Euro NCAP. Thus Alexey Abramov said that in the development of the Russian system to account accident statistics. This work will also be involved and the automakers themselves.

Among the most likely test the head of Rosstandart mentioned frontal impact on a rigid barrier, side impact, pole and hit with a truck. Will be validated operation of active safety systems. Specialists will test the possibility of preventing accidents, recognition of signs and pedestrians.

in comparison with Euro NCAP requirements, some can even tougher. For example, a frontal attack can conduct at speeds above 64 km/h or with an overlap of at least 40 % (was announced a variant of 30-35 %). It is also possible to use deformable barrier.

According to Abramov, in the elaboration of the strategy will take three to five years. That is, the system RuNCAP can be formed by 2023.
