COST EVALUATION OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) 105-83. FINAL REPORT

For FMVSS 105-83, a representative sample of brake system components for the year prior to and following the implementation of the standard (i.e., 1983 and 1984). The consumer cost and weight change due to the implementation of the standard were estimated and weighted by sales volume to develop industry average costs. Costs and weight increase generally after the implementation of the standard, with the exception of the G.M.C. 7 ton truck which decreased significantly.
