CATL Bedrock Chassis Extreme Crash Test

[@cedricgtrable]

Well done. On Spain we are looking forward to see your factory on Zaragoza 🎉

[@dannelson6980]

Pretty impressive, great work.

[@BlueSky-cy5nw]

Amazing test and result 👏

[@alb.1911]

Congratulations 👏🏻

this is not what crash test should test, but still good for protecting battery, so when designing the upper part engineers can concentrate on saving people inside as battery down there is already protected.

I was thinking the same thing, the driver would not survive. On the other hand, you are likely to die in a 120kph crash in any scenarip I gues....

[@jetcarq6048]

there are few pictures of volvo xc90 after same crash, they say that none of people died inside. in some cases people can survive a lot of G force. in F1 there were several cases with 50G and nothing is even broken, while car is almost destroyed.

[@urbanstrencan]

Looks like quite promising platform, can't wait to see it on production model

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

nobody's talking about the occupants (full size plastic dummies improvising as real world passengers) in the crash test . . . no mention of how the crash dummies reacted in the post crash analysis . . . in order to better understand the human body & it's level of tolerance . . .

[@ericwalter175]

This scenario is not survivable. This is all about preventing further harm caused by fire.

[@hodanghau596]

That is the job of auto manufacturers, not CATL's. CATL is a battery company, and it ensures that battery packs survive.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

@hodanghau596 it is very much the job of CATL to provide a full analysis of the crash test . . . afterall CATL is the one conducting the crash tests . . .

[@superchargerone]

does it matter? which would you prefer to be? one where the front crushes up to to the back of your head or this? If you are going to have an accident at 120kmh, i think you want to be in this at the least

[@plentypotential]

Great safety features!

[@birdie8085]

Thanks, we have high hopes.

[@jooky87]

Now this is called leading! Great presentation, while the rest of the world just dicks around

[@___OmerAJ___]

Great, wondering if the battery pack is serviceable like tesla

[@Reddylion]

Good

[@GenuineFlolie]

The pole test with the chassis is flawed. The actual car would weigh much more and translate to a different outcome. Perhaps the additional structure mitigates this partly but we should be looking to the crashtested full car.

[@didikkwok]

How's about side and rear impact crash safety?

[@TRcommander]

With no machine block, the car will have space to stengthen front area

[@GodofGHz]

Thats really cool... But also colossally unrealistic. Virtually no accidents are going to be from 75mph to an instant dead stop. Still, I do appreciate good engineering 😊

[@incognitotorpedo42]

It's looking at the extremes. If the battery survives a 75 mph pole crash, it should survive anything it's likely to see on the street.

[@lavericklavericklave]

everyone in the car is completely dead but the battery is ok! huzzah!

[@SpyOnTheWeb]

Only god can save you if you crash in 120

[@FrankiePo89]

Better than having the victims burnt beyond recognition.

[@KyleMackenzie]

1km/hr increase is 3% while 5km/hr increase is 100%? I don't think that math checks out....

[@arhitectura.din.România]

for every 1km/h = 3% for every 5km/h = nearly double You can listen again.

[@Elaba_]

How many million dollars does such a car cost?

[@AlenMop]

Tesla already does this. Cheapest Tesla is about $20K Model 3 after savings. Or $40K upfront.

[@amaldev4150]

Nice! Wonderful job, can't imagine having such robust crash structure for ICE cars!

[@SuperEgleh]

silly test. for head on crashes there is a limit for survival around 70km/h.

[@terrourett]

There was

[@muhammadirfanataulawal7630]

Yes the survivability at 120 km/h is very slim, if there's any. But atleast responders can evacuate the victim(s) and get rid of the wreck from traffic safely due to lower fire risk.

[@maj429]

I must be living under a rock because I thought catl was a battery Manufacturer not an auto manufacturer

[@FrankiePo89]

They are not manufacturing cars, just the platform with the battery for other manufacturers.

[@alexlo7708]

They sell battery solution package.
