From April, new cars must have airbag for front passenger seat

从4月份开始，新车副驾座必须安装安全气囊

NEW DELHI: New models of all cars will have to provide airbags for the front passenger seat from April 1 while all exsting models can be sold after August 31 this year, only after being fitted with this safety gear.

新德里：从4月1日起，所有新车必须为副驾驶座安装安全气囊，所有现有车型可在今年8月31日之后销售，前提是必须安装安全气囊。

This mandatory provision was notified by the road transport ministry on Tuesday.

周二，印度道路运输部公告了这一强制性规定。

“This has been mandated as an important safety feature, and is also based on the suggestions of the Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety,” the ministry said.

该部门表示:“这是一项重要的安全功能，也是根据最高法院道路安全委员会的建议而制定的。”

TOI had on December 20 first reported on this proposal.

印度时报于12月20日首次报道了这一提议。

Recently, road transport minister Nitin Gadkari had said safety features such as airbags were being made mandatory across all variants of cars and irrespective of their cost.

最近，印度道路交通部长尼廷·加德卡里表示，安全气囊在所有车型上都是强制性的，不管价格多少。

Airbags for drivers have been made mandatory in all cars since July 1, 2019. Just one airbag for the driver is inadequate since it leaves the co-passenger in the front seat vulnerable to serious injury, or even death, in case of a crash.

自2019年7月1日起，强制要求所有汽车都要在驾驶员座安装安全气囊。仅为驾驶员配备安全气囊是不够的，因为一旦发生撞车事故，坐在前座的乘客容易受到严重伤害，甚至死亡。

Good decision by Govt for safett

为了安全，印度政府做得好

Mukesh Shah

Foolish minister...making it mandatory now....he just realised that the life of the front passenger is precious....how about the safety of back seat passengers?

愚蠢的部长，现在就强制执行....他才意识到前排乘客的生命是珍贵的，

那后排乘客的安全呢?

难道他们的生命不珍贵吗?

only Maruti don't give it. and this is the highest selling brand.

taxation should change now only favouring maruti vehicles

只是马鲁蒂的车没有安全气囊，这是卖得最好的牌子。

税收规定应该改，现在只对马鲁蒂有利

Ashok gupta

Rules but just for cars no rules for rickshaws, e rickshaws and other non motorized vehicles which create maxmum disturbances and are responsible for most of accidents in crowded areas

没有关于人力车、电动人力车和其他非机动车辆的规定，这些车辆制造了最大的混乱，造成了道路拥堵，大部分事故和它们脱不了干系。

So long Road Disciplines are not followed by all drivers India will continue to have high mortality rate due to road accidents.

既然所有司机都不遵守交通规则，交通事故导致印度的死亡率居高不下。

Also the state govt should check the long distance drivers during night to ensure that they are not under the influence of liquor.

邦政府也应该在晚上检查跑长途的司机，确保他们没有醉驾。

Akshay Daga

Why not improve road infrastructure, implement lane system etc, that will help reduce more than 1/2 the accidents.

为什么不改善路况，有助于减少超过一半的事故。

Pranav Pathrikar

Too little, too late. All seats with passengers should have airbags not just the front seats.

太迟了，其实所有座位都应该配安全气囊，不仅仅是副驾。

Theodre

make separate lanes for two wheelers, four wheelers , trucks and lorries .

为两轮车、四轮车、卡车和货车分别设置车道。

Car prices gonna hike as the cost will indirectly charged from the customer.

汽车价格将会上涨，成本将转嫁给消费者。

Vijay Naidu

How effective are these airbags? How are they checked if they would work properly in case of an accident? Can airbags protect children when they sit in the front seat? Airbags wouldn’t protect when the car hits on the side?

安全气囊有多有效?

如何验证在发生事故时，它们是否能正常工作?

安全气囊能保护坐在前座的儿童吗?

当汽车侧翻时，安全气囊能起保护作用吗?

Edmund Roosevelt

Why don't you try cracking your car for a life demo to see the actual safety effect of airbag my friend? Airbags have proven to have saved so many lives n it is so kiddish on your part to write so insensiblely. Feel sorry for your ignorance.

朋友，你何不撞个车做个生命演示看看安全气囊的实际安全效果?

事实证明，安全气囊挽救了很多人的生命，你这样说真是太幼稚了。为你的无知感到遗憾。

Marlyn Monroe

Of all the fatalities that occur in India what percentage is due to absence of airbag for copassenger? Negligible. So this is not required at the moment. More stringency required elsewhere

在印度发生的所有死亡事故中，有多少是由于没有安全气囊造成的?

可以忽略不计。

目前安全气囊不是必须的，其他方面需要加强监管

Ataur Rahman

There must be separate lanes for trucks and cars on all highways. Most of the accidents on the highways are due to trucks changing the lanes.

在公路上，卡车和汽车必须有各自走单独的车道。高速公路上发生的大多数事故都是由于卡车改变车道造成的。
