Global NCAP tells Nissan to stop selling go In India

datsun-go-crash

Recently Global NCAP has conducted the crash tests for Indian cars in Germany in which the Datsun Go,received zero of all possible five stars.Costing at Rs 3.12 lakhs(Ex-show-showroom,Delhi),none of the four variants of Datsun Go said to possess air,bags or anti-lock braking system for safety concerns.Apart from this,what is the shocking news is that even the addition of air-bags won’t able to save passengers in case of a major accident,thus implying that the body shell of the model is tad too feeble.Thus the report has ended up with the warning to the Nissan CEO that the model has to be withdrawn from India as quick as possible.It is a proven fact from the written statement made by the Global Safety watchdog to the top executive of Nissan,the manufacturer of the car which states ,”As presently engineered, the Datsun Go will certainly fail to pass the United Nation’s frontal impact regulation. In these circumstances, I would urge Nissan to withdraw the Datsun Go from sale in India pending an urgent redesign of the car’s body-shell.”In response to this, Nissan India reported that ,”Datsun GO meets required local vehicle regulations in India. Automotive regulation standards in fast-growing countries are constantly evolving and as a global manufacturer, we are willing to adopt as well as help evolve standards in vehicular safety standards”. Though other Indian cars including the Nano were crash tested in January and failed basic safety standards, NCAP has never before written to a manufacturer with the sort of emphasis reflected in its note to Nissan.This seems like it has been done with an intention to embarrass Nissan .Further,it tends to spot a black remark against its brand in an international arena.
