Wrap up
Summary
In-depth investigation in India & RASSI* Consortium setup - Completed

First of its kind in India Studies like benefit estimations of various vehicle safety
features specific to India
Accident research data analysis support to ministry & other stake holders like
MORTH,OE,SIAM,ACMA for key strategic decisions on vehicle safety legislations
Results and outcome of Accident research initiative in India
All Passenger Vehicles produced in India will be fitted with Airbags - wef January 2017,
Passenger Vehicles starting 2020 (Discussion completed -Yet to Notify)
All PTW produced in India will be fitted with ABS - wef October 2017, Existing PTW
platforms from 2018 (Discussion completed -Yet to Notify)
All Heavy commercial Vehicles produced in India will be fitted with ABS - wef April 2015
(Notified in Oct 2014)
Key inputs for strategic positioning of vehicle safety products for Indian market
