Title: FMVSS No. 124, Accelerator Control Systems Upgrade | |
Abstract:
The agency is considering several revisions to FMVSS No. 124. First, we are considering revisions to the test procedures for vehicles with electronically controlled throttles as well as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. These test procedures are the product of several workshops and public meetings. We anticipate that all vehicles would be able to meet them because it would not involve changes to the existing basic requirements of the standard. Second, we are considering adding a new requirement for a brake-throttle override system on light vehicles. Under certain conditions, this would require that the braking system override the throttle control in the event of a conflict. Since, nearly all vehicle manufacturers have equipped their U.S. vehicles with such technology, the agency has determined to withdraw this rulemaking, as it no longer appears necessary. |
