 CAERI adopts THOR-AV-50M ATD in the C-IASI ProtocolChina Automotive Engineering Research Institute has taken a landmark step in vehicle safety with the adoption of the THOR-AV-50M ATD into its C-IASI protocol. Through deep collaboration with global Tier-1 suppliers, like Yanfeng and Autoliv, CAERI and Humanetics are setting a new standard for assessing and advancing safety in unconventional "zero gravity" and reclined seating positions.

The update, the largest revision since the introduction of the overall rating system in 2009, will go into effect in 2026. It features an overhaul of vehicle testing and scoring procedures, along with a new rating methodology built around four key stages of safety: safe driving, crash avoidance, crash protection, and post-crash safety. The new approach, drawing on the principles of the Haddon Matrix, tests safety technologies by stage, yet also enables evaluation of those solutions that operate across multiple stages.
U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy alongside U.S. President Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office unveiled the Administration's new "Freedom Means Affordable Cars" proposal to reset the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's CAFE standards. The Biden-Buttigieg administration broke the law by setting standards that went far beyond the requirements mandated by Congress.
ANCAP has released safety results for six models: the BYD ATTO 1, Nissan Navara, Volvo EX90, Mini Aceman, MG QS, and the updated Tesla Model Y. This latest round of ratings spans electric SUVs, a light commercial vehicle, and compact crossovers, with all models achieving five-star safety ratings. These results reflect the ongoing ability of manufacturers to achieve five-star ratings across a mix of vehicle types.
Batteries fitted to heavy duty vehicles will be required to be of high quality and durable over the years thanks to a new United Nations Regulation on battery durability adopted by UNECE-hosted World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29). It builds on the adoption of UN GTR No. 22 providing minimum performance requirements for the battery durability of electrified light-duty vehicles adopted in 2022, which was extended to vans in 2024.
PESRI releases a new round of independent test results for 42 additional Child Restraint System models available in Latin America and the Caribbean region. These CRSs, which include infant, toddler, and child seats, reflect a wide range of installation options and regulatory compliance (UN R44 or UN R129). All models were evaluated to a frontal impact at 64 km/h, a side impact with a protruding door at 50 km/h, and an assessment of installation ease in a variety of vehicles.
With the release 15.0 of the CarMaker product family, IPG Automotive presents the latest version of the company's simulation software. This version enhances the capabilities of virtual vehicle development through optimized integration of virtual control units, which enable software and system tests at very early development stages. In addition, users benefit from new functions for ADAS and AV as well as improved endurance testing.
As part of ASEAN NCAP's continuous effort to enhance consistency and transparency in its assessment process, an update has been made to the ASEAN NCAP Child Restraint System (CRS) Reference List. This update aims to ensure that CRS installation assessments reflect current products available in the ASEAN market and remain aligned with international standards.
In November 2025, at IAV's crash test facility in Großmehring, Germany, the first crash test with a breakable biofidelic dummy was successfully conducted. This high-speed crash test focuses specifically on potential injuries to the driver.
The Hyundai Grand i10 falls short on safety with a zero star rating for adult occupant protection in the #SaferCarsForAfrica campaign. While the model did score three stars for child occupant protection, the test found serious shortcomings in adult occupant protection, which resulted in high risk of life-threatening injuries. The Hyundai's standard safety equipment includes driver and passenger frontal airbags, but none for side body or head protection and no Electronic Stability Control.
To ensure and expand sustainable mobility solutions, the transport of passengers and cargo requires high-performing, seamlessly integrated monitoring and control systems. High-capacity transportation links can be maximized through automated 24/7 sensor supervision, real-time analyses and predictive maintenance alerts and actions.
How much can the human body withstand and how can we design the transport system around those limits? That was the red thread during SAFER Research Day at Clarion The Pier, where researchers, authorities and industry met to discuss how new knowledge can be transformed into real road safety benefits.
Anna Theander has been awarded the European Commercial Vehicle Safety Award 2025. The prize was awarded for the 36th time jointly by the European Association for Accident Research and Analysis (EVU), the expert organization DEKRA and the German Road Safety Council (DVR). The official award ceremony took place during the DEKRA Commercial Vehicle Outlook Conference in Berlin. The award winner is Leader of the Volvo Trucks Accident Research Team.
