The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released a report that updates a 2009 study on the incident rate of hybrid electric (HE) vehicles being involved in crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists compared to pedestrian and bicyclists’ crashes involving a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE).

According to the updated report, overall, the odds ratios indicate that the odds of an HE vehicle being in either a pedestrian or bicycle crash are greater, 35 percent and 57 percent respectively, than the odds of an ICE vehicle being in a similar crash.
