Rear underrun protection devices – Information on the cost benefit analysis performed by Germany
At the 100th GRSG session, Germany presented the document GRSG/2011/19 to propose more demanding requirements for rear underrun protection devices on heavy goods vehicles. The target is to ensure a higher level of safety for passenger car occupants, who have a high risk to get severely or fatally injured in case of hitting the rear of a truck or trailer. This document provides a cost-benefit analysis in support of the proposal.
