Title: Add New Electrical Safety Requirements During Normal Vehicle Use and Optional Post-Crash Requirements to FMVSS No. 305 | |
Abstract:
This rulemaking would update FMVSS No. 305 in response to petitions for reconsideration from Toyota Motor Company and the Auto Alliance to facilitate the introduction of fuel cell vehicles and 48 volt mild hybrid technologies (vehicles with zero/low emissions and high fuel efficiency) in the United States. The rule would provide an additional optional method of meeting post-crash electrical safety requirements in FMVSS No. 305 that would involve physical barriers of high voltage sources and add electrical safety requirements during normal use of electric powered vehicles. The rule would align the electrical safety requirements in FMVSS No. 305 with those in current industry standards and other international regulations. |
