Program Overview
This expert-led program offers an in-depth look at the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and their global impact on automotive safety and regulatory compliance. With a balance of theory, real-world examples, and interactive exercises, participants will gain the tools to interpret and implement FMVSS in vehicle design, testing, and market strategy. Emphasis is placed on cross-market harmonization challenges, the cost of non-compliance, and aligning with evolving safety and emissions expectations in a globalized product ecosystem.
