A 75-mph closure front-to-front impact test and a 60-mph front-to-rear impact test were conducted between a 1500-pound class Fiat Experimental Safety Vehicle (ESV) and a 5200-pound AMF Inc. ESV, to determine the structural response of the Fiat ESV when involved in collisions with a larger ESV, and to determine the ability of the velocity-sensitive front end of the AMF ESV to accommodate lightweight vehicles. A theoretical energy absorption analysis was conducted for the front-to-front test.
