Washington -- Continental Automotive Systems NA

has praised outgoing National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

Administrator Dr. Jeffrey Runge for his "legacy contribution to motor vehicle

safety by shifting agency priorities to put crash prevention and protection of

occupants after a crash on equal footing." The company showcased in

Washington, DC a concept car that it believes holds the most promise of

helping drivers avoid crashes.

Company President and CEO Bill Kozyra said, "In addition to increasing

safety belt use to the highest level ever in this country, Dr. Runge will be

remembered for another accomplishment of huge benefit, acknowledging that

while much has been done to protect occupants after a crash occurs, emphasis

now must also be on preventing as many crashes as possible by means of

available technology."
