Vehicle Purchasing, Leasing, Parts Procurement, and Test Coordination Services for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).  NHTSA’s mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce traffic-related health care and other economic costs.  The agency develops, promotes, and implements effective educational, engineering, and enforcement programs with the goal of ending vehicle crash tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with vehicle use and highway travel.

As part of this work, NHTSA conducts a variety of motor vehicle crash tests including, but not limited to, frontal, rear, oblique, side moving deformable barrier (MDB), and side pole impact test modes.  NHTSA also conducts various crash avoidance tests, static and dynamic rollover tests, air bag out-of-position low risk deployment tests, tire testing, and testing in accordance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).  To support future efforts, NHTSA expects to conduct research for future FMVSS, crash avoidance technologies, automated vehicles, and electric vehicles.  The agency may also conduct testing to assess new crash test dummies and child restraint systems and may perform research study vehicle safety defects.
