Spotlight on safety ratings

Vehicle safety ratings will be put in the spotlight when the Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association (VIA) hosts a special webinar this month.

Todd Wylie, the NZTA’s principal adviser – vehicle safety, is the guest speaker for the online event, which will start at 1pm on Wednesday, September 18.

“Vehicle safety has been a trending topic in the news lately. We’ve seen stories about the differences in NCAP ratings between jurisdictions and concerns arising from research on vehicle size,” says VIA in an email alert to members.

“For the VIA webinar in September, we’ve asked NZTA’s ratings guru, Todd Wylie, to come and talk to us about the latest on vehicle safety ratings.”

Wylie, pictured, will provide an update on the vehicle safety rating system, including the latest research from Monash University, followed by a Q&A session.
