OICA has changed its logo. To reflect, in a modern logo, the future auto-mobility, based on the new technologies of connectivity. The logo contains graphically the OICA acronym and contains several auto-related symbols, reflecting a start/stop button, a (steering) wheel and connectivity.
Globally harmonized safety standards benefit all countries.
Road safety worldwide will be best served if viewed from a global perspective. International harmonization will help ensure that vehicles meet the same basic specifications worldwide and are equipped with the necessary features. As the accredited representative of the worldwide vehicle industry, OICA is now working with governments and […]
Worldwide CEOs commit to the safety belt.
At the fourth Global Automotive Industry Meeting, held on February 28th, 2006 in conjunction with the Geneva Auto Show, Chief Executive Officers of the major automakers of the world agreed that, for all light vehicles which do not already have them, they would install safety belts by July 2008 […]
There is absolutely no doubt that the single most effective thing that every vehicle occupant can do to help save their own life if they have an accident, is to wear their safety belt. Safety belts hold the occupant, preventing ejection from the car and hitting an outside obstacle. The forces at play in even […]

Antilock Braking Systems (ABS) detect the first signs of wheel lock under braking and interrupt the brake force for a fraction of a second at a time to allow the tyres to maintain grip. The main advantage of ABS is that it allows the driver to maintain steering control during wet braking, but it can […]
Electronic Stability Controls
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) or Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is a further development of ABS, with additional sensors which detect any difference between the driver’s control input and the vehicle’s response. If it detects a difference, the system immediately intervenes, applying the brakes to individual wheels as necessary to correct the vehicle’s path. […]
Lighting and light signalling
Developments in lighting systems as well as vehicle-based computer systems have opened the possibility of much more flexible and effective headlight systems with such features as:
Bend Lighting where the headlamp beam reacts to steering wheel movement to see around the bend
Cornering Lights where additional light is provided in the direction of a […]
