The world's first public two-car electric crash test by Mercedes-Benz

Demonstrating safety in an unprecedented crash test: Mercedes-Benz is the world’s first automaker to publicly conduct a frontal offset crash of two electric vehicles that simulates a real-life accident scenario common on rural roads.
Take a look behind the scenes of this extraordinary undertaking that not only confirms occupant protection in the EQA and EQS SUV but also illustrates the aspirations of our real-life safety philosophy: To build cars that can withstand not only crash test scenarios, but also real-life accidents.
After all, safety is not a question of drive system, but one of our core commitments to all road users we’ve taken on.
[Mercedes-Benz EQA 300 4MATIC | WLTP: Stromverbrauch kombiniert: 18,7‒17,4 kWh/100 km | CO₂-Emissionen kombiniert: 0 g/km]*
[Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 4MATIC SUV | WLTP: Stromverbrauch kombiniert: 24,3‒19,9 kWh/100 km | CO₂-Emissionen kombiniert: 0 g/km]*

Now tell us how a 5,000 lbs EV affects the safety of passengers in a 3,000 lbs normal engine car? This endless cycle of heavier and heavier cars needs to come to an end in my opinion.

As an ex crush test dummy I am happy this video is out to showcase the work of my colleagues

[@vikramca06]

Well done @Mercedes. I would love to see similar tests at 80km and 100Km speeds.

[@Dr_KW]

Let's see the T-bone test now

[@michaelelkin9542]

Great video. I am surprised that almost all test are at 56 kph or 35 mph. Am I the only one who would be more interested at a more realistic 55 mph tests.

Would be interesting to see the result with one eletric SUV against a more common sedan or a hatchback like a Mercedes A class or a C/E class. The sheer weight of the SUV could have catastrophic destruction on the other car.

How many tests did you do before you did not get thermal overload

[@ewenchan1239]

As someone who used to be a crash safety simulations engineer -- this warms my heart.

[@zackschwenzer4892]

I found it kind of funny how as a tech we are technically expected to treat wrecked EVs like there is a loss of isolation with the high voltage components, meaning potential for live high voltage being present where it should not be.

"Our vision is zero fatal accidents in 2050."....Romanian drivers: hold my beer 😁

[@joelahnstein2281]

T-bone test at highway speeds? Rear end collisions? At best this could qualify as a glancing blow in the already designed crumple zones.

[@patrickneilson4884]

Would be useful to find out at what crash speed the battery ruptures!

[@kluas948]

Thank you for putting out this video to transparently show the efforts that go into making a new technology safe. Adopting a new technology comes with educating consumers on how the technology works that makes consumers confident in putting their lives inside one of these vehicles.

[@grn-xx]

Excellent video, hats off to everyone involved, especially also the film crew and video editors.

[@marknairn6032]

Zero fatal accidents in 2050, why didn’t you ask for a unicorn.

[@spolo123]

Did you put real batteries inside or just dummy ones?

[@Perceivedshift]

Zero fatal accidents by 2050? Considering some EVs allow MORE people to accelerate faster than ever to 120+mph, goooooood luck with that.

[@feeltheflair]

Its not just luxuriousness alone, but the concern of the users.👍

[@videogalore]

This is excellent, thank you for sharing the work behind the scenes!

Mercedes: There is no bigger purpose than saving peoples lives.
