Which Tow Vehicle

And absorbing energy the principal reason why, in a crash, it is better to be in a steel vehicle than aluminium, and GRP or composites are worst of all. After all, we sit on energy absorbing cushions for a very good reason. NO. That's utter rubbish (and sounds a little like Airbus's anti-787 FUD!). Safest cars in the world are Formula 1 cars - 100% carbon fibre. Crash-worthiness and energy absorbtion is ENTIRELY down to design, not material. Dan
