| PSI | Session 6 | 20-21 Jun 2012 |
Mr Belcher presented a summary of Australian Category 2 vehicle sales and safety need data (PSI-06-07). The data showed that vans had very low pole side impact fatality and serious injury rates per registered vehicle relative to both passenger vehicles and utes/pickups. Vans also had a significantly lower overall side impact fatality rate per registered vehicle. Serious injuries (hospital admissions) from other (e.g. vehicle-to-vehicle) side impacts were higher for vans than utes/pick-ups, but the severity and body regions of these injuries was unknown. ACTION: US to make presentation on safety need for Category 2 vehicles at next meeting. |
