The RTA’s Crashlab at Huntingwood in Sydney’s west is a modern world class vehicle crash testing facility that brings together all testing services and expertise under one roof.

The facility provides crash-testing for small sedans to larger vehicles such as four-wheel-drives. It has the capability to crash test around 100 local and international vehicles per year.

Crashlab has conducted over 750 vehicle crash tests in the last 15 years, including more than 100 at the new Huntingwood facility, which opened in late 2005.

The Crashlab is the principal supplier of testing and technical support for the Australian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) and its safety ratings system.
