Honda has been given one of the first Euro NCAP Advanced Awards for safety innovation, for a system that is available on the Accord and the CR-V.
The award was presented at the Paris Motor Show for the Collission Mitigation Brake System (CMBS), a radar basedemergency braking system that automatically helps prevent or reduce the damage resulting from a collision with a stationary vehicle or one travelling in the same direction.
It is effective both at urban speeds and on rural roads and motorways.
Euro NCAP Advanced is a Euro NCAP initiative in response to the rapid development of new safety technologies available when buying cars for which there is no independent assessment. Euro NCAP Advanced is open to any technical system that has a demonstrable safety benefit, whether it is primary, secondary or tertiary, as long as it is available as an option on one of the Euro NCAP tested cars and not already addressed by the current star rating.
