The American Insurance Institute, known as the IIHS, has a bumper crash test that evaluates the damage and repair costs of a low-speed crash to warn consumers against buying cars with high repair costs. However, our country does have access testing, but the standard is very low, almost the car can pass. Therefore, manufacturers do not have the power to configure and optimize the front and rear anti-collision beams according to the maintenance cost of low-speed collision.
In Europe, many people like to move the parking space between the front and the back, so they generally require the car to be strong at a low speed. How many people in China will move the parking space like this? Ok, low speed collision optimization, it seems that the Chinese will not experience it.
Looking at high-speed collisions, the IIHS in the United States and the 25% of the world's most severe offset collisions, these rigorous tests help manufacturers to pay attention to the application and effect of anti-collision steel beams. In China, due to the poor C-NCAP standards, some manufacturers have found that their products can get 5 stars even without the crash-proof steel beams, which gives them the opportunity to "play it safe".
