airbags, automotive safety is the most basic configuration. In overseas markets, if there is no air bags in motor vehicles are not allowed to produce.
United States in 1984, the Federal Government will airbag passive safety devices that incorporate rules requiring 1994, must be absolutely disposed on the production of cars.
in Europe in 1993 by the ECE R94 regulations, to further enhance crash safety requirements, and since 1996, has become the standard front airbags car.
Japan’s regulations in 1998 formally incorporated into Japan security standard, similar to the European ECE R95 regulations, must be listed standard airbags.
But China At present, the airbag is not clearly defined, that is, on a new car if there is no air bag, is not illegal.
[1] minimalist configuration, in exchange for a very low price
Today domestic models, many already on the security is very good. But there are still individual models, for reasons of cost control, or positioning, without the use of airbags.
and just listed near Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is a whole system no airbag models. In the security configuration, just Hongguang MINI EV is equipped with ABS anti-lock and EBD brake distribution, as usual vehicle common EBA brake assist, ESP vehicle stability system, the whole system at all. After the models above minimum distribution is no air conditioning, of course, we removed these configurations, the benefits of price is 28,800 yuan. Wuling Hongguang MINI EV also with such a low price, the successful ascent of the first electric car sales charts, surpassing the Tesla Model 3.
In fact, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV from positioning said, with Japan’s K-CAR There are great similarities, K-CAR Japan 49 years after the product, the advantage is that the small size, low fuel consumption, the shape is similar to the shape of square box. Since Japan itself is scarce petroleum resources, K-CAR has also been supported by the Japanese government, not only to give subsidies, but also to solve the parking problems. Today, K-CAR will be more such vehicles in the Japanese countryside, because it will not exceed the maximum speed of 100KM / h, it is now more like a domestic elderly scooter.
[2] Japan K-CAR at low prices at the same time, achieve a high level of security configuration
in fact, the safety of Japan’s K-CAR is not good, because the Japanese K-CAR design philosophy is to maximize the mechanical compression of space, resulting in K-CAR crash test results are more general reference test results Japanese J-NCAP crash test organization, the majority of K-Car crash results are Samsung or four-star (out of five stars), occupant protection scores are generally about 70 points.
In recent years, with the support of the Japanese car manufacturers and the government, K-CAR growing popularity of active safety systems to improve the safety of the vehicle to a certain extent. We did low price, but also taking into account the security. But the low price of K-CAR is relative for Japan’s, K-CAR price in Japan is around 1.3 million yen to 200 million yen, similar to the price and Fit models such as the price, the main advantage of K-CAR It is fuel-efficient and large space. For the average person’s income in Japan, it is not expensive. In fact, for example K-CAR is also the purpose of Wuling Hongguang MINI EV in security there is room for improvement.
[3] Wuling Hongguang MINI EV What room for improvement?
Of course, as a pure electric vehicle, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV K-CAR is not in the strict sense, it is defined to Wuling scooter, but at such a low price, and very difficult to use high configuration. For example Wuling Kwong MINI EV charging time is about 7 to 9 hours, it is not a fast charge. Why do not fast charge? Because the battery capacity is relatively small, fast-charge power bear. And fast charge will lead to large heat generation of the battery, the battery cooling requirements are relatively high. But in order toLower costs, Wuling Kwong MINI EV no cooling function, the consumer had to accept each charging time 9 hours.
I remember Wuling Hongguang MINI EV just listed, many people say, if it is a fuel truck just fine. Indeed, it is for this mini scooter, if the car is fuel, then the wide audience it more, but if the car is fuel, so demand for engine, transmission is high. The Wuling Hongguang no research and development of ultra-small internal combustion engines, electric and pure structure, just the greatest degree of cost reduction.
[4] Wuling Hongguang MINI EV elderly scooter safest, most unsafe car?
In short, all at a low cost as the goal, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV does give consumers a low-cost ultra-pure electric car, but I have to say, super cheap but also to ensure safety sex. Wuling Hongguang MINI EV Although it is intended to replace the elderly scooter comes from the standard elderly scooter to measure, it is undoubtedly safe. But if a car’s standards, it is failing.
