Two crash tests of the Basic Research Vehicle (BRV) developed by the Renault Motor Company are described. The test program, which was performed by Calspan Corporation under contract to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, included a 30-degree frontal, oblique rigid-barrier crash at a speed of 42.5 mi/h and a second 75-degree side impact of the same BRV by a standard production Renault R-12 vehicle at a speed of 31.3 mi/h. The test results obtained from the measured occupant responses show that only minor injuries would have been inflicted on human occupants in either of these tests.
