- IVEX integrated Euro NCAP 2026 protocols into its NCAP Evaluator platform.
- The software supports analysis across Safe Driving, Crash Avoidance, and Crash Protection stages.
IVEX announced on May 6 that its NCAP Evaluator software will now support the upcoming 2026 vehicle safety protocols introduced by Euro NCAP. The integration is designed to help the automotive industry prepare for the next phase of vehicle safety evaluations by enabling structured analysis across the newly defined testing categories. Euro NCAP recently showcased its 2026 testing methodology and is moving toward official vehicle assessments covering Safe Driving, Crash Avoidance, Crash Protection, and Post Crash Safety systems.
The updated NCAP Evaluator platform is intended to improve consistency and transparency during safety validation processes. According to the announcement, the collaboration between IVEX and Euro NCAP aims to strengthen repeatability and robustness in vehicle assessment procedures while providing manufacturers and drivers with a dependable benchmark for evaluating safety innovation. The software has been configured to process and analyse 2026 testing data across three major assessment phases: Safe Driving, Crash Avoidance, and Crash Protection.
A major addition within the 2026 framework is the new On-road Driving evaluation, which falls under the Safe Driving category. This assessment area reflects the growing focus on real-world driving behavior and advanced vehicle safety performance. By integrating these protocols into the NCAP Evaluator platform ahead of official implementation, IVEX is supporting automotive companies in adapting their validation workflows to future safety requirements and evolving vehicle assessment standards.
