The challenges in this process are significant. Gasoline-fueled (and diesel-fueled) vehicles powered by internal combustion engines (ICEs) won the market competition over other motive systems and their performance has since been improved and refined for more than 100 years.

There is another caution measuring safety performance with only records of injuries not only limits evaluation to a reactive stance, it also sets up a negative motivational system that is apt to take a backseat to the positive systems that are used for productivity and quality [4].
