This paper is a status report of the New Car Assessment Program's data on light trucks.
In 1983, the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) began including light trucks in its testing program. To date, data on light trucks, vans, and multipurpose vehicles are inadequate to draw conclusions. Because of consumer demands for crashworthiness information on these vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will continue to expand its NCAP database on these vehicles in subsequent years.
