ADVICS makes every efforts toward “safety”.In order to help to as many people
as possible the understand safety technology, ADVICS has been promoting
activities to illustrate the benefits of ESC in reducing traffic accidents.
Dissemination rate of ESC
In Germany, 70% of new cars are equipped with ESC and in the US, NHTSA announced the obligation policy for standardization of ESC equipment.There, dissemination of ESC is gradually expanding. In Japan, the ESC equipment ratio is only 10%.
ESC dissemination committee
In addition to our own activities, in order to promote dissemination of ESC in
Japan, ADVICS established the ESC dissemination committee with Bosch Corporation
and Continental Autimotive Corporation in 2003. These companies are promoting
activities in cooperation to uniformly address technology terms and to raise
awareness.
Uniformity of address terms
As automobile manufacturer use their own terms for ESC, such as VSC and ESP, users are confused and this may cause non-dissemination of the activities.Therefore, we have proposed the uniformity of “ESC” and we are promoting “ESC” to automobile related organizations and to mass communication.
