Summary
The Safety and Fuel Economy (SAFE) Act (H.R. 2614) proposes new federal standards to improve vehicle safety and increase fuel efficiency for cars and light trucks. The bill would require manufacturers to disclose a "CRAGG index" rating for new vehicles, which measures "aggressivity"—how much damage and injury a specific vehicle model causes to others during a collision based on its weight, height, and stiffness. Additionally, the legislation sets a schedule for increasing mandatory average fuel economy standards for vehicles manufactured between 2003 and 2011.
