There is a phenomenon, I don't know if you have found it, that is, car companies use male dummies for collision tests for a long time. Even considering the female body shape, most of them are replaced by male dummies with reduced scale, ignoring the objective differences between women and men in physiological structure, driving habits, sitting posture and so on. In the long run, the vehicle safety guarantee for women will not be improved qualitatively.
The data shows that the number of female drivers in China has reached 65.438+62 billion. However, the balance of vehicle safety is still tilted to the needs of men, which is really inappropriate. It is based on this background that the Euler brand under the Great Wall has come forward to pay attention to the safety of women's cars with practical actions.
Specifically, the Euler brand and Tianjin China Automobile Center successfully completed the "serial collision challenge of the main driving female dummy intersection" under the simulated rainstorm weather, which is also the first collision challenge with female dummy as the protagonist in China.
Model introduction
Euler Lightning Cat, which went on the market at the end of last year 10, is positioned as a class B pure electric coupe, and the official guide price is 18.98-269800. The new car is built on lemon platform, equipped with borderless doors and adaptive electric tail. It has two kinds of power: single motor and double motor, in which the double motor version accelerates to 4.3 seconds at zero speed, and CLTC has a battery life of 555km, 705km and 600km.
Collision safety testing is mainly divided into two stages. The first stage is the wading test to verify the waterproof performance of the vehicle's three-electric system. The second stage is the serial collision test, which mainly verifies whether the vehicle can effectively protect the female driver after the collision.
Wading test
Soak the tested Euler lightning cat in water with a depth of 30cm for 2 hours. After soaking, the engineer will check whether the vehicle is leaking electricity or unable to drive. Finally, after two hours of wading test, the Euler lightning cat has no insulation fault and no fault code, and can run normally with electricity.
Continuous collision test
Two Euler lightning cats were prepared at the scene, and the vehicles that had just been wet were used as collision vehicles, also called "bullet cars". The main driver installed a female dummy and the co-pilot installed a male dummy. The other car is a crashed vehicle, with a female dummy in the main driver's seat and a 1 child dummy behind the co-pilot seat.
The test neutron bomb car will hit the hit vehicle at a speed of 50 km/h, which is equivalent to the test vehicle B being hit three times, the first collision at the intersection, and the second collision caused by sliding on the pole. At the same time, the bullet car did not stop, continued to squeeze forward, and then hit for the third time.
In the end, both cars have withstood the test, among which the A-pillar and front anti-collision beam of the bullet car have good structure and excellent frontal collision performance. However, the main pressure-bearing parts of the crashed car, such as B-pillar, bottom beam, upper side beam, etc., have not undergone structural deformation, providing sufficient living space for the passengers in the car.
The seat belts of the two cars are automatically pre-tightened, and the main airbag, side airbag and side air curtain pop up quickly, which grasps the key parts of the dummy well.
Secondly, there is no leakage, fire or explosion in the whole car, the doors are automatically unlocked, and the emergency rescue system takes the initiative to call, which reserves sufficient emergency escape time and opportunities for passengers.
The success of this crash test, I think, is not only a severe test for the safety of Euler Lightning Cat, but also a standard demonstration for the whole automobile industry to establish the safety awareness and safety mechanism of female users. I also hope that other manufacturers and other models can keep up with the pace and continue to improve vehicle safety standards. After all, this is good for consumers.
In fact, this is not the first time that Euler Lightning Cat has demonstrated its powerful safety performance to the outside world. As early as last June, 5438+ 10, we jointly conducted four safety tests for vehicle batteries with China Automobile Center, namely, piercing the battery with a 20mm steel needle, burning the whole package for 140 seconds, losing control of the whole package and falling from a height of 6 meters.
At the same time, the car also carried out the first high-speed spiral tumbling and falling challenge of electric vehicles in China. In the end, there was no electrolyte leakage, fire spontaneous combustion and vehicle leakage in the vehicle. It can also be seen that Euler Lightning Cat has high confidence in its safety performance, which is also loved by consumers, I think.
