SAE: Controversial refrigerant is safe
SAE says a person is 20,000 times more likely to die in a plane crash than be exposed to a vehicle fire caused by a leak and ignition of HFO-1234yf.
SAE International, after a new round of tests, said a controversial refrigerant favored by most automakers is safe for use in mobile air conditioning units.
Honeywell says ‘carmakers convinced its coolant is safe’
U.S. auto supplier Honeywell refuted claims that its new carbon-neutral air conditioning refrigerant was unsafe, citing findings by an automotive industry research group that it said backed up the product.
Not indicating causes ‘millions of crashes per year’
Failing to indicate causes ‘millions of crashes per year’, according to a Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) report.The US-based study shows that the effects of failing to indicate could be worse than ‘distracted driving’ – using a mobile phone behind the wheel.The study watched 12,000 vehicles as they turned or changed lanes, and noted the rate of those who used their indicators. It showed that a staggering 48% of drivers didn’t bother indicating when changing lanes, and 25% didn’t when turning.
