1、272 49 CFR Ch. V (10110 Edition) Pt. 583 MARCH YEAR TO BE INSERTED COMPARISON OF DIFFERENCES IN IN-SURANCE COSTS FOR PASSENGER CARS, STATION WAGONS/PASSENGER VANS, PICKUPS AND UTILITY VEHI-CLES ON THE BASIS OF DAMAGE SUS-CEPTIBILITY The National Highway Traffic Safety Ad-ministration (NHTSA) has pro
2、vided the in-formation in this booklet in compliance with Federal law as an aid to consumers consid-ering the purchase of a new vehicle. The booklet compares differences in insurance costs for different makes and models of pas-senger cars, station wagons/passenger vans, pickups, and utility vehicles
3、 on the basis of damage susceptibility. However, it does not indicate a vehicles relative safety. The following table contains the best available information regarding the effect of damage susceptibility on insurance pre-miums. It was taken from data compiled by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI
4、) in its December YEAR TO BE INSERTED In-surance Collision Report, and reflects the col-lision loss experience of passenger cars, util-ity vehicles, light trucks, and vans sold in the United States in terms of the average loss payment per insured vehicle year for THREE APPROPRIATE YEARS TO BE IN-SER
5、TED. NHTSA has not verified the data in this table. The table represents vehicles collision loss experience in relative terms, with 100 rep-resenting the average for all passenger vehi-cles. Thus, a rating of 122 reflects a collision loss experience that is 22 percent higher (worse) than average, wh
6、ile a rating of 96 re-flects a collision loss experience that is 4 percent lower (better) than average. The table is not relevant for models that have been substantially redesigned for YEAR TO BE INSERTED, and it does not include in-formation about models without enough claim experience. Although ma
7、ny insurance companies use the HLDI information to adjust the base rate for the collision portion of their insur-ance premiums, the amount of any such ad-justment is usually small. It is unlikely that your total premium will vary more than ten percent depending upon the collision loss ex-perience of
8、 a particular vehicle. If you do not purchase collision coverage or your insurance company does not use the HLDI information, your premium will not vary at all in relation to these rankings. In addition, different insurance companies often charge different premiums for the same driver and vehicle. T
9、herefore, you should contact insurance companies or their agents directly to determine the actual pre-mium that you will be charged for insuring a particular vehicle. PLEASE NOTE: In setting insurance pre-miums, insurance companies mainly rely on factors that are not directly related to the vehicle
10、itself (except for its value). Rather, they mainly consider driver characteristics (such as age, gender, marital status, and driving record), the geographic area in which the vehicle is driven, how many miles are traveled, and how the vehicle is used. There-fore, to obtain complete information about
11、 insurance premiums, you should contact in-surance companies or their agents directly. Insurance companies do not generally ad-just their premiums on the basis of data re-flecting the crashworthiness of different ve-hicles. However, some companies adjust their premiums for personal injury protec-tio
12、n and medical payments coverage if the insured vehicle has features that are likely to improve its crashworthiness, such as air bags and automatic seat belts. Test data relating to vehicle crash-worthiness and rollover ratings are available from NHTSAs New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). NCAP test re
13、sults demonstrate rel-ative frontal and side crash protection in new vehicles, and relative rollover resist-ance. Information on vehicles that NHTSA has tested in the NCAP program can be ob-tained from http:/www.safercar.gov or by calling NHTSAs toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 18883274236 (TTY:

This part establishes requirements for the disclosure of information relat-ing to the countries of origin of the e
20、quipment of new passenger motor ve-hicles. 583.2 Purpose. The purpose of this part is to aid po-tential purchasers in the selection of new passenger motor vehicles by pro-viding them with information about the value of the U.S./Canadian and for-eign parts content of each vehicle, the countries of or
21、igin of the engine and transmission, and the site of the vehi-cles final assembly. 583.3 Applicability. This part applies to manufacturers of new passenger motor vehicles manufac-tured or imported for sale in the United States, suppliers of passenger motor vehicle equipment, and dealers of new passe
22、nger motor vehicles. 583.4 Definitions. (a) Statutory terms. The terms allied supplier, carline, country of origin, deal-er, foreign content, manufacturer, new passenger motor vehicle, of U.S./Canadian origin, outside supplier, passenger motor vehicle, passenger motor vehicle equip-ment, percentage
23、(by value), State, and value added in the United States and Canada, defined in 49 U.S.C. 32304(a), are used in accordance with their stat-utory meanings except as further de-fined in paragraph (b) of this section. (b) Other terms and further definitions. (1) Administrator means the Adminis-trator of
24、 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. (2) Allied supplier means a supplier of passenger motor vehicle equipment that is wholly owned by the manufac-turer, or in the case of a joint venture vehicle assembly arrangement, any supplier that is wholly owned by one member of the joint ventu
25、re arrange-ment. A supplier is considered to be wholly owned by the manufacturer if a common parent company owns both the manufacturer and the supplier, or if a group of related companies own both the manufacturer and the supplier and no outside interests (interests other than the manufacturer itsel
26、f or companies which own the manufac-turer) own the supplier. (3) Carline means a name denoting a group of vehicles which has a degree of commonality in construction (e.g., body, chassis). Carline does not con-sider any level of decor or opulence and is not generally distinguished by such characteri
27、stics as roof line, number of doors, seats, or windows, except for light duty trucks. Carline is not distin-guished by country of manufacture, final assembly point, engine type, or driveline. Light duty trucks are consid-ered to be different carlines than pas-senger cars. A carline includes all moto
28、r vehicles of a given nameplate. Special purpose vehicles, vans, and pickup trucks are classified as separate carlines. (4) Final assembly means all oper-ations involved in the assembly of a ve-hicle, performed at the final assembly point including but not limited to as-sembly of body panels, painti
29、ng, final chassis assembly, trim installation, ex-cept engine and transmission fabrica-tion and assembly and the fabrication of motor vehicle equipment compo-nents produced at the same final as-sembly point using forming processes such as stamping, machining or mold-ing processes. (5) Final assembly
30、 point means the plant, factory, or other place, which is a building or series of buildings in close proximity, where a new passenger motor vehicle is produced or assembled from passenger motor vehicle equip-ment and from which such vehicle is delivered to a dealer or importer in VerDate Mar2010 10:

32、 necessary to the mechanical op-eration of such automobile are in-cluded with such vehicle whether or not such component parts are perma-nently installed in or on such vehicle. For multi-stage vehicles, the final as-sembly point is the location where the first stage vehicle is assembled. (6) Outside
33、 supplier means: (i) A non-allied supplier of passenger motor vehicle equipment to a manufac-turers allied supplier and (ii) Anyone other than an allied sup-plier who ships directly to the manu-facturers final assembly point. (7) Passenger motor vehicle equipment means any system, subassembly, or co
34、mponent received at the final assem-bly point for installation on, or attach-ment to, such vehicle at the time of its initial shipment by the manufacturer to a dealer for sale to an ultimate pur-chaser. Passenger motor vehicle equip-ment also includes any system, sub-assembly, or component received
35、by an allied supplier from an outside supplier for incorporation into equipment sup-plied by the allied supplier to the man-ufacturer with which it is allied. (8) Person means an individual, part-nership, corporation, business trust, or any organized group of persons. (9) Ultimate purchaser means wi
