- Description:
- Professional Services for Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Minimum Sound Testing
1.Description of the Requirement
Hybrid and electric vehicles (HEVs) are significantly quieter than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts when driven at low speeds, heightening the risk of collision to vulnerable road users who rely on audible signals when navigating in the vicinity of traffic (e.g., in parking lots and while crossing streets).
As of December 2, 2022, Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards now include regulations (CMVSS 141) for minimum sound requirements for every hybrid or electric passenger car, multi-purpose passenger vehicle, truck, bus, and low-speed vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less.
The safety standard includes requirements for acoustic parameters when the vehicle is about to move or is moving at low speeds. These requirements will increase the likelihood that blind, visually impaired, and other pedestrians, and pedal cyclists are able to detect and recognize nearby light duty hybrid and electric vehicles. These specifications should allow the pedestrian to recognize that there is a vehicle present, where that vehicle is, and in what state it is operating, more precisely, if the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating, going forward or reversing.
Transport Canada is seeking laboratory compliance testing, CMVSS 141 on light-duty vehicles to a standard of UN ECE Regulations No. 138 or CFR Standard No. 141.
