The report presents the test results of a front-to-front collision between a Fiat 2000 pound class Experimental Safety Vehicle (ESV) and a 5200 pound AMF ESV at a closure speed of 75 miles per hour. The objective of this test was to assist in the understanding of problems associated with crashworthiness in the traffic mix, i.e., car-to-car compatibility and aggressiveness. This crash test evaluated the structural integrity and dynamic response of the Fiat ESV when involved in collision with a larger ESV. The test also investigated the potential benefits of velocity-sensitive front-end structures to accommodate lighter weight vehicles such as the Fiat ESV. The test was successful in that Fiat compartment integrity was adequately maintained.
