In response to a legislative mandate to improve automotive fuel efficiency, NHTSA identified areas to be researched and analyzed to determine the costs, feasibility and impacts on various segments of the population. In all, nine tasks were completed and reported in individual reports. This final report presents a summary of the program and a brief description of the results. The reports discussed in this report include: 'Passenger Car/Pedestrian Impact Protection System Evaluation', 'Implementation Analysis of Brake Inspectability Requirements', 'Proposed Rear View Mirror Characteristics and Costs', 'Cost Analysis for Upgraded Passenger Car Rear Signal Lighting Requirements', 'Vehicle Weight/Cost Optimization', 'Cost and Economic Impact of Tire Reserve Load Requirements', 'Implementation Analysis for Daytime Use of Headlights', 'Weight and Detailed Process Cost Study of 1981 Chrysler K-Car (Reliant/Aries) Components', 'Impact of Upgraded FMVSS 105 on the Economy of Operation of the 1979 LDT Fleet', 'Cost, Producibility, and Feasibility Studies of Specific Automotive Systems'.
