ASEAN NCAP turns 10 this year and fittingly marked the occasion by handing out awards recognising vehicle safety milestones within the region. Unsurprisingly, Toyota were among the big winners of the night with four awards and just had to share with the world.
Toyota Daihatsu Engineering & Manufacturing (TDEM), Toyota’s regional office in Asia for engineering, manufacturing and other functions, today announced that Toyota received multiple “Decade of Safer Vehicle Awards” in conjunction with the ASEAN NCAP’s 10th Anniversary Celebration.

Toyota remains committed and is striving towards its ultimate goal of zero traffic fatalities. This comprises continuously improving its vehicle safety technologies and performance with focus on three essential elements; vehicle (advancing safety technology), people (educating drivers, passengers and pedestrians toward traffic safety) and traffic environment (supporting safer traffic infrastructure).
Furthermore, in its pursuit of ‘Real-World Safety,’ Toyota is learning from real accident data and incorporating such knowledge into vehicle development under the ‘Integrated Safety Management Concept,’ where individual safety technologies and systems are designed to collaborate with each other in various vehicle operation stages, from parking to advanced safety, pre-collision safety, collision safety and rescue.
