• Abstract:
  NHTSA evaluates market trends and crash data to understand how FMVSS affect motor vehicle safety. This report describes a crash data and market survey of five vehicle and equipment categories that all have unique relevance in the FMVSS: (1) large passenger vehicles, trucks, and SUVs excluded from FMVSS No. 208 air bag requirements (Class 2B); (2) limousines over 10,000 lbs. GVWR; (3) “entertainer” buses and motor homes over 26,000 lbs. GVWR; (4) medium buses that carry 11 or more occupants; and (5) motorcycle helmets. A market survey was conducted for all five vehicle and equipment categories, while the crash data analysis was conducted only for Class 2B large passenger vehicles of GVWR 8,500 lbs. to 10,000 lbs.
