The United States Technical Presentation - the Optimized Esv Performance Specifications 736079
This paper reviews preliminary specifications and goals for a
3,000 pound class U.S. experimental safety vehicle. The ESV program
has planned to address four weight classes of experimental safety
vehicles to span the vehicle mix represented on U.S. highways. The
4,000 pound family sedan was logically to be followed by a 3,000
pound weight class.
The 3,000 pound ESV will be used to assess the effectiveness,
practicality and achievability of safety design concepts to be
mass- produced in the vehicles of the 1980's. In selecting this
vehicle, major consideration was given to vehicle mix, energy,
resources and pollution problems
