Vehic­les

Other Vehic­les

In addition to the research work on the safety of cars, commercial vehicles and powered two-wheelers, the UDV has also turned its attention to other types of vehicles in recent years, including e.g. vans, tractors, quad bikes, light quadricycles, electric bikes (pedelecs) and Segways. It is not possible to say how widespread these types of vehicles will become in future and thus make statements about accidents involving them, but the UDV will be following these trends with a critical eye.

The role of farm trac­tors in traf­fic acci­dents

More than 10 years ago, the Ger­man Insu­rers Acci­dent Rese­arch (Unfall­for­schung der Ver­si­che­rer / UDV) asses­sed the acci­dent risk posed by farm trac­tors in road traf­fic and iden­ti­fied typi­cal pat­terns. Initial assess­ments of the figu­res...

Quad bikes (qua­d­ri­cy­cles) have become incre­a­sin­gly popu­lar in Ger­many in the last 10 years or so. It is esti­ma­ted that there are now over 150,000 of these vehic­les.

An inves­ti­ga­tion into the safety risks of light weight vehic­les

In the course of this rese­arch the level of safety of so-cal­led light weight vehic­les (LWV) was inves­ti­ga­ted and asses­sed. The focus falls on vehic­les fea­tu­ring car-like clo­sed occu­pant cells.

Pede­lecs

Elec­tric-assist bicy­cles (pede­lecs) are beco­ming incre­a­sin­gly popu­lar in Ger­many. Accor­ding to the Ger­man two-whee­ler indus­try asso­cia­tion Zwei­rad-Indus­trie-Ver­band (ZIV), around 200,000 were sold in 2010, and the asso­cia­tion expects 300,000 to...

Acci­dents invol­ving recrea­tio­nal vehic­les

Recrea­tio­nal vehic­les (RVs) have enjoyed gro­wing popu­la­rity for a num­ber of years in Ger­many. Not only is the num­ber of these vehic­les rising con­ti­nuously; the num­ber of new regis­tra­ti­ons is also incre­a­sing every year.

Acci­dents invol­ving trac­tors are rare but usually serious

Trac­tors are rela­tively rare on Ger­man roads. Con­se­quently, they do not figure lar­gely in acci­dent sta­ti­stics. But when they are invol­ved in acci­dents, more peo­ple than ave­rage are seriously inju­red or kil­led.

Crash tests with Sport Uti­lity Vehic­les (SUV)

The ear­lier ana­ly­sis of SUV real-world col­li­si­ons in Ger­many had shown that SUV dri­vers are not more acci­dent-prone than the ave­rage car dri­ver.
