Elektros Inc. announced that the company has received significant results regarding the Elektros Sonic vehicles FMVSS 500 Report for Low-Speed Vehicles which was recently conducted overseas by a reputable company hired earlier in the year. The results from the FMVSS 500 Report concluded that the Elektros Sonic vehicle successfully passed the Maximum Speed Test and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The vehicle also passed a variety of safety equipment requirements for the Department of Transportation certification including the driver and passenger's mirrors, parking brake, and the Vehicle Identification Number.

The Elektros Sonic vehicles, however, will need to be tested again for other safety equipment requirements such as the headlamps, tail lamps, and seat belt assemblies. The FMVSS 500, in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation, specify basic safety equipment including lights, reflectors, mirrors, windshields, windshield wipers, parking brakes and seat belts on motor vehicles whose maximum speed is between 20 and 25 mph.

Low-speed vehicles means a motor vehicle that is four-wheeled; whose speed attainable more than 20 mph but not more than 25 mph on a paved level surface; and whose gross vehicle weight rating is less than 3,000 lbs. as stated by the NTEA. The company looks forward to focusing their efforts on the remaining requirements and is thrilled to be one step closer to receiving certification from the Department of Transportation for Elektros Sonic vehicles.
