NHTSA FMVSS-214 Side Impact Barrier

Movable Deformable Barrier FMVSS-214 & FMVSS 301

Based on Aluminum Honeycomb technology, the NHTSA FMVSS-214 impact barrier (crash test barrier) is used by car manufacturers and test laboratories worldwide for the assessment of motor vehicle passenger protection in side and rear impact collisions according to the American NCAP protocol. The side-impact test consists in a 1,368 kg trolley impact on the driver’s side of the test vehicle. The trolley is equipped with NHTSA FMVSS-214 deformable barrier, which simulates the front of the impacting vehicle.
