vehicles is still an important product that everyone is most concerned about today. However, as ordinary consumers, it is difficult for us to truly understand the true safety factor of a car. Therefore, some people will choose to "simple" knock and touch when looking at the car to judge whether it is safe from the senses. Of course, this approach is certainly unscientific and neither rigorous. Therefore, for most people, there is only one way to know the safety of a car-crash test. Isn’t there a saying in
? A car with good crash test scores may not necessarily be truly safe. However, a car that fails the crash test must be unsafe. This sentence is enough to illustrate the "gold content" of the crash test results. However, some people are not very convinced of crash tests, because in their view, there is often a difference between "testing" and "actual combat". The closer a test is to reality, the more valuable it is for reference.
On the recent National Traffic Safety Day, Jikrypton teamed up with the China Automotive Industry Center to publicly conduct an incredible challenge. The model participating in the challenge this time is Jikrypton's MPV model Jikrypton 009, and the content is the "double A-pillar" challenge to the dynamic roofing of a 30-ton concrete mixer truck.
We all know that large concrete mixer trucks are actually very dangerous. Because of its large mass, high center of gravity, and concentrated pressure, we often see traffic accidents about concrete mixer trucks in the news, especially when they roll over and crush other vehicles, which can be described as "unfortunate". Therefore, the challenge launched by Ji Krypton 009 this time is considered by many to be an egg hitting a stone. But the end result is something you may not even imagine.
Before the test, the organizer also specially found a small elderly scooter for testing. When the concrete mixer truck rolled over and fell down at a slow speed, it could be said to bring disaster to the elderly scooters. It can be seen from the footage at the scene that the entire vehicle has deformed due to heavy pressure, and the body is twisted. If it were not for the test, the consequences for the passengers in the car would be unimaginable.
The Ji Krypton 009, which followed closely behind, also faced this concrete mixer truck with a body length of 10.38 meters, a width of 2.5 meters, a height of 3.998 meters, and a vehicle weight of 30 tons. After climbing the one-sided bridge, the concrete mixer truck rolled over and hit the roof of Ji Krypton 009. The center of gravity at this height is actually higher than driving on flat ground, so the energy caused by the collision is also greater. But judging from the final result, except for the suspension that compressed and dropped under heavy pressure, the entire vehicle showed no obvious structural changes.
finally passed the inspection. The passenger compartment of this Ji Krypton 009 has no obvious corrosion, the chassis air spring can still rebound normally, the double-sided doors and electric tailgate can still be opened and closed smoothly, and the ABC pillar of the entire vehicle has no obvious complete/dented/cracked and other phenomena, and no parts of the dummy in the car were harmed. If we had to find some damage, it would be that the front windshield of Ji Krypton 009 was cracked at the angle. Such an achievement may not have occurred to many people. But in the author's opinion, the successful challenge of Ji Krypton 009 not only stopped the mouths of many "domestic car haters", but also taught a lesson to joint venture MPVs.
Friends who are familiar with vehicle structures know that MPVs are more "fragile" than cars and SUVs. Therefore, safety has always been a problem that many car companies cannot overcome, including even many mainstream joint venture car companies. As for Jikrypton 009, the MPV achieves an unprecedented safety factor through the ultimate use of materials and design. Its main A-pillar is made of 2000MPa ultra-high-strength hot-formed steel, and its yield strength is twice that of nuclear submarine cylinders.
In addition, the proportion of high-strength steel in Jikrypton 009’s entire vehicle reaches 71%, which is only 10% higher than the industry’s highest standard. Not only that, Jikrypton 009 also uses the world's largest one-piece die-cast rear-end aluminum body, and has a body torsional stiffness of up to 36450Nm/deg. The vehicle's stiffness is more than three times that of traditional MPVs, which brings comfort to the occupants in the car. Comes rock solid security. And these exaggerated materials are of unprecedentedly high standards for most MPV models.Therefore, if you look at it from another angle, it is really the emergence of Ji Krypton 009 that really sets a new tone for these foreign brands. Not only has it become famous in one battle, but it has also raised the standards for technology and quality in this segment of the market. Do you think this is true?
