Bosch has been awarded with the Global NCAP Innovation Award 2012 for its worldwide development and market deployment of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems.

The New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) is one of the most influential international programmes to assess the safety of new vehicles.

The Global NCAP Annual Awards was held as part of the Global NCAP Annual Meeting, in conjunction with the Automotive Safety Week 2012 South East Asia, hosted by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS).

An active advocate of road safety around the world, the award is a validation of efforts by Bosch in developing innovations in vehicle safety technologies and products that protect and preserve lives.

David Ward, secretary general of Global NCAP said: “The Board of Trustees is giving the award to Bosch in recognition of its pioneering work in developing and bringing to market ESC. Global NCAP is impressed by the proven effectiveness of the ESC to reduce road fatalities, and we believe that this technology can make a substantial contribution to the achievement of the injury reduction goal by the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety. For these reasons, we believe Bosch is a worthy recipient of our 2012 Innovation Award.”
