High-speed support, high-altitude tumbling, these scenes often seen in movies, but appear in reality. Recently, Lynk & Co cooperated with the China Automotive Center to complete such a big job, and also appeared on the #There are not many safety test items left for Lynk & Co#Hot search. The difference is that the vehicles in the movie are either scrapped or exploded, but the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P in reality is still "0 injured" and can run!
The industry's first high-altitude fall challenge after the bottom support, Lynk & Co 07 safety on the big score
Although I have heard about the safety of Lynk & Co for a long time, and the news that the Lynk & Co 08 fell off a 60-meter cliff at the beginning of the year and only suffered minor abrasions to the people in the car, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P still stunned me by the industry's first vehicle to fall from a high altitude after being supported by the bottom of the vehicle.
The specific challenge content is that the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P is advancing at a speed of 50km/h, which is 1.67 times higher than the industry standard test speed of 30km/h. It was carried out twice under the same conditions, time, weather and working conditions, once with the front of the car hitting the ground sideways and once with the front of the car plunging into the ground.
Judging from the scene picture, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P is in a state of take-off, the vehicle's hidden door handles and airbags are popping open normally, and the E-CALL function calls for rescue as soon as possible and gets a reply quickly. After landing, the overall body structure and the cabin structure are in good condition, and the A/B/C pillars have not suffered structural failure, and there is no electrical safety risk, let alone an explosion like in the movie.
Global security concept, creating a security "moat"
The Lynk & Co 07 EM-P can complete such extreme challenges, and the concept of "global security" that Lynk & Co has always adhered to can be said to be indispensable.
At the bottom of the Lynk & Co 07, there is a high-strength steel scratch-resistant bottom beam with a thickness of 2mm, which is 40mm lower than the battery pack, which is the first contact point between the vehicle and the obstacle when supporting the bottom, and it is also the first protection of the battery pack, which can effectively prevent scratching. Therefore, we can see that even if the Lynk & Co 07 has experienced a speed of 50km/h, the battery is still intact.
In terms of body, the total proportion of high-strength and above steel + aluminum alloy of Lynk & Co 07 vehicle is more than 82%, and the A, B pillar and four-door anti-collision beam area use a reinforcing plate with a strength of 2000Mpa. The front impact beam is made of aerospace-grade 7 series aluminum alloy with a thickness of 5mm. For reference, the thickness of BMW X5 is 4.83mm, and the thickness of Mercedes-Benz C-class is 4.74mm, which shows that Lynk & Co 07 EM-P is still very generous in terms of materials, which is also an important reason why its body can withstand a drop of 7 meters.
"Price war" seems to have become the theme of today's automobile market, but I think more important than the volume price is the quality of the volume, if Chinese cars want to really go to the world, it must be inseparable from the most important safety.
