COST EVALUATION OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS 111, 112, 118, 124
For FMVSS 111, 1123, 118 and 124 a representative sample of vehicles was purchased for a year prior to implementation of the standard, the year of implementation and a year representing a contemporary vehicle of the same make. The consumer cost and weight change due to the implementation of the standard was estimated and weighted by sales volumes to develop industry average costs. Costs increased generally after the implementation of the standard. Costs have declined from this increased level for contemporary models. Weight has generally been reduced for contemporary models after an initial increase.
