The car manufacturer "Atom" has completed the first of three planned crash tests of bodies and pre-production cars. The test results confirmed the effectiveness of the electric car body design. This was reported by the company's press service.
During the testing, various tests were carried out:
including checking the protection of the driver and front passenger using the CNCAP FRB (Full Width Rigid Barrier) method, assessing the protection of passengers and compatibility with other properties (CNCAP MPDB - Mobile Progressive Deformable Barrier), as well as checking the protection of the driver and rear passengers (CNCAP Side Pole).
- Frontal impact against a rigid barrier at 50 km/h - ensures verification of the protection of the driver and front passenger.
- Frontal impact with incomplete overlap against a moving oncoming deformable barrier at a total speed of 100 km/h - to assess the protection of passengers and compatibility with other cars.
- Side impacts against a pole (32 km/h) and a deformable barrier (50 km/h) - checking the protection of the driver and rear passengers.
- Oblique frontal impact at 56 km/h - testing protection in a T-shaped collision.
Before the start of the second round, the identified deviations of the first stage of testing will be eliminated. The team will optimize the restraint system and the frontal structure of the body so that "Atom" meets the target indicators of the passive safety project.
In the future, "Atom" plans to conduct two more rounds of testing, which will include crash tests of production cars with an expanded program, as well as false triggering tests and rollover tests.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a photo of the pre-production prototype "Atom" "lit up" on the network.
