Don't miss this unique event hosted by the NAFA Nation's Capital and Old Dominion loc al networking groups on August 20! Attendees will get to watch and experie nce the crash of a brand-new vehicle\, complete with "dummies\," all wired up to measure the crash's impact on human beings. Get up close and person al with the changes in vehicle safety design over the decades. \;

This year's event will also inc lude a short presentation on IIHS-HLDI's vision for a 30% reduction in roa d deaths by 2030. \;The Institutes will work toward its 30x30 vision b y focusing on three areas &mdash\; reducing risky behavior\, accelerating commercial vehicle safety and extending safety to everyone. Accelerating c ommercial vehicle safety is a central component. Their goal is to encourag e manufacturers to improve the safety of commercial vehicles while giving fleets the information they need to select vehicles that can help protect their drivers and the communities they serve. This year IIHS began evaluat ing cargo vans and Class 3 pickups\, which have a gross vehicle weight rat ing from 10\,001 to 14\,000 pounds. In the coming years\, the institutes p lan to build on this success by testing heavier vehicles and evaluate side underride guards\, which few trailers currently have. In parallel to the vehicle testing and research that IIHS is conducting\, their sister organi zation\, HLDI\, has begun to curate insurance loss data for commercial veh icles to bolster research on commercial vehicle crashes and countermeasure s.

This is a limited capacity event and once capacity has been met - no additional registrations will be available. \;
