Publishing projects

Auto-review includes a number of projects:

ARCAP

ARCAP (Autoreview Car Assessment Program) - Russia's first independent rating for the passive safety of a car is in the newspaper. "Autoreview" is based on studies undertaken on Publishing means of crash tests.

History

Since 1997, "Autoreview" has been conducting the independent crash tests for cars sold in the Russian market. In 2001, the first test was carried out according to the rules of EuroNCAP[4] (only frontal impact). Subsequently, after the accumulation of the test results, the results were combined into a summary rating based on the rules of EuroNCAP. It was found that the rules of EuroNCAP do not apply very well to the Russian reality, as they are drawn up in accordance with modern requirements and well ranked cars, the safety of which is already more or less at a decent level. On the other hand, the rules in Russia do not make provision to clearly identify either; cars with low safety, disastrously unsafe cars, or make a distinction between low safety and disastrously unsafe cars.

Tests are conducted on the basis of Dmitrov avtopoligone NITSIAMT[5] and the Laboratory Impact Testing AvtoVAZ as well as in the Czech Republic with the participation of international companies (headquartered in Munich, Germany) for technical control TÜV SÜD.

Rating

According to the results of crash tests (frontal impact of a deformable barrier at 64 km / h with a 40% overlap), the car is rated on a scale (0 to 16) according to the protocol for the EuroNCAP frontal impact. Rated on a scale corresponding to the rating "stars" (from zero to four stars[6]) that does not coincide with a rating of EuroNCAP. Given the realities of the Russian standard, the rating symbols include driver, passenger and car. The car symbol was marked in the test results if the impact seriously compromised the structural integrity of the vehicle body. The symbols of the driver and passengers marked test results where vehicle occupants may be at increased risk of injury to vital organs.
