NEWS: The Transportation Equipment Institute (TSEI) would like to inform industry members and stakeholders of certain laws and regulations administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) relative to the manufacture, importation, and sale of motor vehicle equipment in the United States. NHTSA is the agency within the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) that is responsible for improving safety on our nation’s highways. To achieve this goal, NHTSA develops and enforces Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS), which require minimum levels of safety performance for motor vehicle equipment.
