Sad news came from China. There was a serious accident with a tank 500 all-terrain vehicle, which can also be purchased in Russia. During a test drive, apparently
According to Chinese media, the accident took place in Guangdong province. The cause of the accident was blinding the driver. Although the video shows that the road is quite light and the asphalt is dry. Fortunately, everyone was wearing seat belts and no one was seriously injured. But for some reason, many electronic assistants did not work. At the same time, shooting from the DVR makes it clear that there was no extreme situation and that the helmsman drove at the speed of the current.
Recall that the Tank 500 has a “smart” electronic stabilization system, an emergency brake assist (BAS), an automatic low-speed deceleration function and other “charms”. They all stood powerless before a simple turn, and the blow turned out to be serious. The left front wheel flew off: apparently the steering knuckle could not withstand the blow. And he in a heavy SUV should be quite powerful.
Heavily crumpled and closed doors. Most likely they were firmly trapped and people had to break windows to get out. All this suggests that the body is being led seriously. Here we can assume that the engineers made a miscalculation during the design. In “Tank” the role of a power element is assigned to a fragment of the frame. And on it with such an impact, the load is minimal. The main ones were taken over by the front and side racks. The latter are still in good condition, but the front ones are dangerously creased. A little more – and people might just be squeezed.
This case is reminiscent of a series of “crashes” of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W168). Engineers installed a long-stroke soft suspension on the “German”, and managers reduced the test program. The result is the handling of issues brought to light by journalists. Oddities were noticed in the Merc’s behavior at the Car of the Year election. So, at a speed of 45 km / h, the microvan showed a tendency to a sharp slip of the rear axle.
And a month later, journalist Robert Colin of the Swedish Teknikens Warld turned the A-class at 60 km/h during the conversion. The manufacturer admitted a miscalculation, completed the model, but this did not save him from losses. According to the agency Berstein Research, the A-class was in the top ten most unprofitable cars.
Something similar could threaten the Tank 500 if a slew of electronic systems are found to fail in a critical situation. And the case could turn into a series of lawsuits, which will multiply the car company’s losses.
