Comparative
Testing with FPS Fitted |
Three vehicles were
chosen to represent typical models that sell well across
the UK and Europe, therefore representing a significant
portion of the vehicle parc.
The results can be seen below... |

| This test was carried
out to compare the risk of head injury to pedestrians
when hit by a vehicle without a frontal protection system,
and the risk of head injury when hit by a vehicle fitted
with a frontal protection system.
The test results below show a huge reduction in the
risk of serious head injury to pedestrians when hit
by a car fitted with a frontal protection system. This
trend was consistent over all ages of vehicle used in
the test. |

| The purpose
of this test was to
compare the risk of leg injury to pedestrians when hit
by a vehicle without a frontal protection system, and
the risk of leg injury to pedestrians when hit by a vehicle
fitted with a frontal protection system.
The risk of leg injury to a pedestrian when hit
by a vehicle not fitted with a frontal protection system
is extremely high. However when fitted with a frontal
protection system the results show a significant
reduction to the risk of leg injury across all ages
of vehicles. |

|
| The purpose of
this test was to compare the risk of pelvic and abdominal
injury to pedestrians when hit by a vehicle without a
frontal protection system, and the risk of pelvic and
abdominal injury injury
to pedestrians when hit by a vehicle fitted with a frontal
protection system.
Vehicle manufacturers have gradually reduced the
risk of pelvic and abdominal
injury to pedestrians over the years. The addition of a
frontal protection system reduces the risk injury even
further in all but one test, especially when added
to later vehicle models. |
