Viewpoint Mobility works hard to stay at the forefront of lowered-floor minivan engineering and testing. A crash test consists of testing the Front, Drivers Side, and Rear of the same van to see if it meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).
The first picture to the right is the Ford Windstar after the frontal crash. After the impact the van is left untouched for 30 minutes to see if fuel leaks out. We passed successfully and had no fuel leaks!
The next picture is the same van after the rear crash was performed. After the impact the van is left untouched for 30 minutes to see if fuel leaks out. We again passed with no leaks!
After each crash the van is put onto a rotisserie to ensure that there are indeed no leaks. The van is rotated in 90° increments and held there for 5 minutes to see if anything leaks out. You will be glad to know we had zero fuel leakage on all 3 (Front, Side & Rear) successful crash tests of this van!
Our commitment to engineer and manufacture safe products shows in everything we do.
