Soon after our crash on May 4, 2013, we learned about underride and began having conversations with engineers around the globe. This included emails, phone calls, and in-person meetings at our Underride Roundtables and DC Underride Crash Test Event (see DC panel discussion in above photo). On Friday, May 5, 2023, I appreciated the opportunity to continue our global underride conversation during one of our TEAM Underride Zoom discussions, which included presentations from Peter Schimmelpfennig and his dad Karl-Heinz Schimmelpfennig (Germany) and Iain Knight (UK).

Here is a PowerPoint Presentation (which might be updated in the near future) from Peter: Underrun_System_2023.Oktober (1)

Here is a PowerPoint presentation from Iain: Euro NCAP-Improving Commercial Vehicle Safety_Roadmap v5.5_IK (1)

This video describes the Schimmelpfennigs’ company, CrashTest-Service (CTS) in Germany:
