A summary is given on the basic work that has been carried out to demonstrate and quantify the behavior and energy absorption of aluminum vehicle structures under impact collapse conditions. Reference is made to results from NHTSA's NCAP program for appraising the crashworthiness of new vehicles. These results have demonstrated in a very practical way the excellent crashworthiness of vehicles with well designed aluminum structures.
