EC Approved FPS
Landrover Frontal Protection Systems approved to 2005/66/EC
Endura Frontal Protection Systems manufacture the Landrover FPS's available through Landrover delaers and directly from Endura. These FPS's are also full height and cover the bonnet leading edge. Any FPS which is more than 900mm high from the floor must meet the child/small adult head impact test. See video here of how this test is performed. Endura are the only manufacturer to be able to offer a product which can meet this requirement, offering the highest levels of pedestrian protection of any FPS on the market. Upper/lower leg and torso injuries can also be significantly reduced due to the energy absorbing design and the height of the FPS. As the FPS's are full height and have depth, Spot lamps can be mounted to the pre installed mounting points. Many of the lower Steel Products are unable to offer spot lamp mounting possibilities. Endura technology has been used in the manufacture of FPS's for Landrover for 16 years.

Commendations
"The MIRA test results clearly show that it is possible to produce and fit protection systems which significantly reduce the level of injury likely to be sustained by pedestrians and the RAC foundation for Motoring welcomes this development.”
Kevin Delaney, Head of Traffic and Road Safety Policy, RAC Foundation.
“As a member of EuroNCAP, Thatcham is a very strong supporter of pedestrian safety initiatives. This innovative development provides a significant improvement in the pedestrian performance of Frontal Protection Systems and Thatcham applauds Concept Mouldings for their work in improving pedestrian safety in this area."
Andrew Miller, Director of Research, Thatcham.
“The Concept Mouldings FPS has shown very good performance in MIRA tests and already meets the requirements of the European Directive 2005/66/EC which will be effective from May 2007.Because of the good energy absorption capacity the FPS will definitely reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries in the case of (unfair) collisions with vulnerable road users."
Frank van West, Technical Director, FIA Foundation.
