🎯🎯🎯 Great news! The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA has proposed a new rule that requires automobile manufacturers to install seat belt use warning systems for the right front passenger and rear seats in passenger cars, trucks, buses, and multipurpose vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less. These measures will improve road safety as well as promote road user culture in the #USA. #RoadSafety #NHTSA #SeatBeltUse #Automobiles #RoadUserCulture #behaviourchange 👉 https://lnkd.in/dsPA6cjj

https://lnkd.in/dGTAmP9G Road crashes resulting in death, injury and damage are because: Drivers are trained with the aid of dual controls since 1900, rather than trained to use the original car controls, and The UK Government owned Transport Research Laboratory TRL designed Highway Code Stopping Distances, designed for one-way road emergency braking standard, after Thinking Time, are used in 145 countries worldwide. 50% of car occupants fatally injured were wearing safety belts, so why did the Safety Belts not save the lives of the other 50%. Safety Belts do not benefit: Pedestrians. Cyclists. Motor Cyclist's and Escooter Riders who make up 50% of the Road Casualties. Police having investigated road fatalities for 145 years since 1869, now promise 'Vision Zero' by 2050.

Big news for automotive safety! The NHTSA has announced new regulations requiring automatic braking systems in all new cars by 2029. At North American Auto Care, we're committed to staying ahead of industry changes and ensuring that our customers are informed about the latest developments in vehicle safety. Automatic braking technology has the potential to significantly reduce the risk of accidents and protect drivers and passengers on the road. Stay tuned for more updates on how these new regulations will impact the automotive landscape and what it means for your vehicle. #SafetyFirst #NHTSA #AutomaticBraking #NorthAmericanAutoCare #naac

The NHTSA finalized a Safety Standard to make Automatic Emergency Braking standard on all passenger cars and light trucks by September 2029. A similar rule is in process to require AEB on heavy-duty trucks.

“Today, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA finalized a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that will make automatic emergency braking (#AEB), including pedestrian AEB, standard on all #PassengerCars and #LightTrucks by September 2029.” This is undoubtedly a major development in the automotive industry! 🚗 💨 NHTSA projects that this new standard, FMVSS No. 127, will save at least 360 lives a year and prevent at least 24,000 injuries annually. The proposal by NHTSA to mandate AEB comes nearly seven years after Euro NCAP - For Safer Cars, Vans & Trucks's timeline. So, what are the notable differences between the two? ✅ Firstly, NHTSA's #PedestrianAEB requirement applies only to pedestrians, whereas Euro NCAP's pedestrian AEB must cover both pedestrians and cyclists. ✅ Secondly, NHTSA mandates that pedestrian AEB must function at night. ✅ Thirdly, there are differences in operational conditions: - NHTSA requires #VehicleAEB to operate at speeds of 90 miles per hour or below, with the mandate to avoid collisions at speeds of 62 miles per hour or less with another vehicle. For pedestrian AEB, the requirement is 45 miles per hour or below, even if the pedestrian AEB system cannot entirely prevent accidents. - Euro NCAP demands that vehicle AEB operates fully to prevent collisions at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour, and at least halves collision speed at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour. Euro NCAP's pedestrian AEB requirement necessitates complete avoidance of pedestrian collisions at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour and avoidance of cyclist collisions at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour. #NHTSA #FMVSS #AEB #PedestrianAEB #NightCondition #RoadSafety #EuroNCAP #LifeSavingTechnologies

It really is no surprise to learn that WHATCAR? recognise the IVECO Daily as the Best Large Van for Towing. Here’s what they had to say… “The IVECO Daily is a cut above the other vans here, and the reason for that becomes apparent the minute you peer underneath it. Do so, and you’ll see the whole van sits on a rugged ladder frame chassis – just like a truck. That makes this the sturdiest, strongest van out there – it’s even available with a monster seven-tonne gross vehicle weight (GVW), enabling it to carry a whopping payload of around 4000kg. Even the 3.5-tonne version has a braked trailer capacity of 3500kg, though, and given its gross train weight (GTW) of seven tonnes, that means you can load your van up to its maximum payload and tow a 3500kg braked trailer at the same time. Here’s a link to the updated feature: https://lnkd.in/eJFKQ_2b We’ve got a range of vans and chassis cabs in stock at the moment, all available with 0% finance and 3-year 3XL repair & maintenance package included free of charge (on 3.5T variants) Drop me a message for details or contact the nearest branch to chat with one of our sales team. #amphillip #amphilliptrucktech #truckandvancentre #iveco #ivecodaily #whatcar

NHTSA aims for 43.5 mpg across new vehicles by 2032: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Friday issued a proposal to update Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for passenger cars and light-duty trucks, calling for a fleet average of 58 mpg, according to its methodology, by 2032—which will equate to a real-world fleet efficiency average of about 43.5 mpg... #car #cars #awesome
