In car to car crash test, smaller and lighter vehicle is considered to be weaker than bigger and heavier vehicle. Generally, SUVs and Light Truck Vehicles(LTVs) are bigger and heavier than passenger vehicles and their drive height and front end stiffness are higher than passenger vehicles. Because of these characteristics SUVs and LTVs cause more severe injury and fatal injury to passenger vehicle at head-on impact. To evaluate SUV and LTV's aggessivity to passenger vehicle, we carried out SUV to passenger vehicle and LTV to passenger vehicle head-on crash test. And finally the way how to reduce incompatibility between SUV and LTV and passenger vehicles is suggested.
