absorbing structures were a 19-percent reduction (p < 0.05) in fatality risk to belted car drivers in
front-to-front crashes with LTVs and a 19-percent reduction (p < 0.05) in fatality risk to belted
car drivers in front-to-driver-side crashes with LTVs. These results suggested that the voluntary
EVC commitment would produce important benefits to car occupants.
