Titled ‘Powered two-and three-wheeler safety: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners‘, it includes guidelines on developing safer roads, ensuring safer mobility for all road users, vehicle safety standards and actions to improve emergency responses to crashes.

In the Twenties, Essex, Hudson’s lower-price companion make, accelerated the acceptance of closed cars. Before the Essex coach a sedan typically cost 40 to 50 percent more than an open car. The coach cost as little as $100 more than the Essex touring car. Thanks to booming Essex sales and strong Super Six demand, the company reached the number-three spot in sales three times in the late Twenties.
