On June 3, 2024, the Insurance Association of China (IAC) and the China Automotive Maintenance and Repair Trade Association (CAMRA) jointly released the "Identification Specification for Repair or Replacement of Common Parts of Accident Automobiles" in Beijing, People's Republic of China. This standard was developed in response to the Chinese government's "National Standardization Development Outline", which aims to create a new framework for standardization across broader, deeper, and higher-level fields.

People prefer SUVs to sedan with the increase of people interested in leisure culture, and started purchasing new type of vehicles with the government aggressive subsidy policy. As the number of SUVs and EVs, which are heavier than ordinary sedans, has been dramatically increasing, it is time to consider actualizing the RCAR barrier specification. To support this idea, KART analyzed recent maket changes and structural changes of new vehicles.

Funded by Toyota's Collaborative Safety Research Center, CAB's three newest projects will study rib, lumbar and ankle injuries specifically. Jason Forman, a UVA Engineering and Applied Science research associate professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, is the principal investigator on two of the studies.

With sales figures increasing year after year, the share of Chinese manufacturers in the overall vehicle fleet is significant. This increase means that the involvement of these vehicles in accidents is also increasing. As part of CESVIMAP's research work, we have analysed several of these vehicles at our facilities in order to compare them with models from other manufacturers. In addition, in order to find out how they respond to an impact and how all the processes are developed after the impact, we have impacted them with front and rear RCAR crash tests.

The certification is based on the CCC's highest requirements for secure and interoperable vehicle-to-device access and confirms that the BMW Digital Key meets these requirements. The Car Connectivity Consortium is a cross-industry standardisation organisation. It dedicates its work to the further development of the connectivity of vehicles with intelligent mobile devices and drives this forward globally.

In front of the press, a motorbike with two occupants - driver and passenger - was crashed at 40 km/h and head-on into a vehicle. The occupants of the motorbike were equipped with a mechanically operated airbag waistcoat. The objective was to test the effectiveness of this safety system, as well as to ascertain the feelings of the motorcyclists who use it, which directly or indirectly affect their safety.
