New Myvi receives 4-Star MyVAP rating

The new Myvi continue to make waves after being awarded a 4-Star Malaysian Vehicle Assessment Programme (MyVAP) rating by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety (Miros) last week. It is the second Perodua model after the Alza to receive the MyVAP 4-Star rating. “We at Perodua are proud by this recognition for our latest model by Miros. This 4-Star MyVAP Rating gives our customers the added confidence on the safety features of this model,” Perodua Managing Director Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said. “I would also like to say thank you to the 25,000 customers who have booked the new Myvi since 4 June. They are getting a product that is not only value for their money but also comes with high safety standards,” he pointed out.
MyVAP, pioneered by Miros, is a programme to elevate the degree of vehicle safety in Malaysia by enhancing awareness among local car owners to acquire roadworthy and crashworthy vehicles via non-destructive techniques Aminar said the 4-Star MyVAP rating  proves that the Myvi has achieved a high level of safety standard which also conforms to certain protocols of the Euro New Car Assessment Programme (ENCAP). He said the MyVAP evaluation was centralised on 3 pillars namely – Active Safety, Passive Safety and 11 items under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulations. The 11 items under the UNECE Regulations include electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC), braking, interior fitting, external projections, audible warning devices, prevention of fire risks, speedometer, rear view mirror, steering effort, tell tales indicator and forward vision.
The tests and certification were carried out by the ENCAP accredited body, IDIADA and  European homologation TUV Rheinland and Perodua’s technology partner Daihatsu Motor Co Ltd from November last year to July 2011. The results of the tests and certification was evaluated and confirmed by Miros at the end of July 2011.
