A 48 kph flat frontal barrier impact test was conducted on a 1995 Solectria 4-door sedan at Transportation Research Center Inc. on May 22, 1995. This test was conducted to gather data concerning the application of the following Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to electric vehicles: FMVSS 208, 'Occupant Crash Protection', FMVSS 212, 'Windshield Mounting', and FMVSS 219 (partial), 'Windshield Zone Intrusion.' The impact velocity was 48.1 kph. The vehicle's maximum static crush was 495 millimeters. The ambient temperature was 21 deg. C. The driver's Head Injury Criteria (HIC) was 575. The driver's chest maximum resultant acceleration with three milliseconds minimum duration was 43.0 g. The driver's chest maximum deflection was 32 mm. The driver's left and right femur maximum axial forces were 2013 N and 6002 N, respectively. The passenger's HIC was 312. The passenger's chest maximum resultant acceleration with three (3) milliseconds minimum duration was 40.2 g. The passenger's chest maximum deflection was 28 millimeters. The passenger's left and right femur maximum axial forces were 2819 N and 2683 N, respectively.
