FMVSS 212, 219, 301 TESTING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES, ELECTRA VAN 1000, ELECTRA VAN 1000P

This report presents the results of two electric vehicle-to-NHTSA Fixed Test Device head-on crash tests. These tests were conducted to determine if the vehicles would comply with the fuel spillage requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 301, Fuel System Integrity, the windshield retention requirements of FMVSS 212, and the windshield zone intrusion requirements of FMVSS 219. The standard fixed barrier was replaced by the 40-load cell NHTSA Fixed Test Device for both tests.
