YEAR/MODEL INTERCHANGE LIST (Clones & Sisters) This list began in 1990 with a stated need in the Accident Reconstruction community for a centralized source of equivalent vehicles for referring to NHTSA crash tests, since NHTSA does not retest vehicles every year if they have not changed significantly, and generally will only test one sample vehicle of a family of vehicles that may be sold under different brand names but are essentially the same vehicle structurally. As such the focus of the list is primarily frontal collisions (for deriving stiffness coefficients, etc.). There are occasions when, for example, significant interior changes are made in the middle of a model's run which may be relevant to occupant protection but will not be picked up in the list if there are not significant structural changes (i.e. changes in "hard points", wheelbase, etc.) at the same time. Often the degree of change is arguable. (If you were to believe some of the manufacturers, their cars are "all new" every year!). Whether to start a new "base" year is sometimes a judgment call and you may disagree. When there are changes like these the remarks column will generally say "Restyle" in some form or another. The start and end year may or may not have a break at this point, depending on the perceived degree of structural change. Either way, the terminology is there to alert you to this. If you have some insight into a specific area, call or e-mail me with your input. Regarding trucks and SUVs, remember that the focus of the list is frontal crashes. Therefore comments will sometimes reflect an equivalent vehicle with (Front), (Fr), etc. This is because, for example, many of the truck-based SUVs have essentially the same structure from the cowl forward as the pickup trucks from which they were derived, but are greatly different to the rear. Therefore, if you are dealing with (for example) side impacts, rear impacts, yaw inertia, etc. the vehicles will generally NOT be equivalent. Please also allow me the standard disclaimer that I do not in any way guarantee the accuracy of these lists. Some similarities represent my own estimates, and some of the older years are from memory. Most are pulled from specifications tables, which may contain inaccuracies all their own. Use common sense-if something seems wrong, check it (and tell me). If you have suggestions, corrections, etc. contact Greg Anderson, (608)256-8020, Fax 256-0212, e-mail [email protected] The list is produced annually for the meeting of the Accident Investigation and Reconstruction Practices Committee (a Standards committee of SAE) at the SAE Congress in Detroit, and is generally available from several sources after that. As of 2009 all cars, trucks, vans, and SUV's (4-door SUV's are also called Station Wagons) are incorporated into a single list, including both Import Makes and Domestic Makes. Also, Domestic-make cars prior to 1980 are included from 1974 to 1980 (just ignore the heading prior to 1980). This CD includes the list in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format as well as the entire database in its native format, Microsoft Access 2007(.accdb) Gregory C. Anderson, P.E. Scalia Safety Engineering 521 E. Washington Ave., Suite 200 Madison, WI 53703 (608)256-8020 [email protected] Year/Model Interchange List -- All Makes -- Cars and Trucks 18-Apr-09 Suggestions for using the YEAR/MODEL ITERCHAGE LIST (Clones/Sisters List): 1980 is an arbitrary cutoff point. If 1980 appears as the first year, this does OT necessarily mean that earlier years were not of the same body style. This list is created for researching primarily frontal impact tests. The first year produced may contain a reference to which vehicle the subject vehicle was based on, if applicable, or Whether the subject vehicle was a restyle of an existing vehicle. This may be of assistance in trying to find a greater sample of similar vehicles. This information will generally be listed OLY in the first year of production. Remember that if you are concerned with Yaw Inertia, watch out for different wheelbases on the same model. These lists were produced with frontal crush data in mind. Body=Type of construction. f=frame/body, u=unitized Drive=Drive wheels. f=front, r=rear, 4 or a=all Body Styles: 2d=2door,3d=2door Hatchback,4d=4door,5d=4door Hatchback,SW=Station Wagon WB=Wheelbase. When more than one is listed, they correspond to the order of body style listing. Please also allow me the standard disclaimer that I do not in any way guarantee the accuracy of these lists. Some similarities represent my own estimates, and some of the older years are by memory. Most are pulled from specifications tables which may contain inaccuracies all their own.
