NAVISTAR Assist Exemption.pdf

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced its decision to grant Navistar Inc.'s (Navistar) application for a limited 5-year exemption to allow its advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) to be mounted lower in the windshield on Navistar's commercial motor vehicles (CMV) than is currently permitted in 49 CFR 393.60(e)(1)(i).  The Agency has determined that lower placement of the ADAS would not have an adverse impact on safety and that adherence to the terms and conditions of the exemption would achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level of safety provided by the regulation.  This exemption is effective November 25, 2019 and ending November 25, 2024.
