Usually, most cars are made of steel, and different parts have different performance requirements for steel. The best steel is used for front pillar (collectively referred to as A pillar), center pillar (B pillar), roof cross member and front sill reinforcement. A few years ago, it was generally believed that German cars were safer, steel plates were thicker, laser welding was used, people were standing at the door, and so on. These have become more evidence of the safety of German cars, while Japanese cars are generally considered to be fuel-efficient but unsafe, with thin skin and light weight. In view of the test conducted by China Insurance Research Institute, the belief of some German fans collapsed. Is it unsafe to own a good German car? How did the German car break in the crash test?

Some netizens commented on the steel strength comparison of the joint venture B-class car, which is also an intermediate car, and the strength of A-pillar can be twice as bad. The test results of China Insurance Research Institute are published to the public, and we will use these data for discussion. Many car companies have announced the steel strength of their models. We can't be wrong in this comparison.

The steel strength of Japanese medium-sized cars is 1. Toyota Camry. Excellent results have been achieved in the crash test of China Insurance Research Institute. The maximum strength of the car body is 1500Mpa, in which the AB column adopts 1500Mpa hot-formed steel. 2. Honda inspire. The highest strength of the car body is only 980 MPa, which means that there is no thermoformed steel, and the strength of the AB column is not 980 MPa. Well, combined with the performance of frontal collision in the test of China Insurance Research Institute, sure enough, it's not bashful to call it a high rigid body? 3. Nissan Teana. According to the official, the use of ultra-high strength steel plates above 780 MPa has increased from 14% to 28%. The 1.2 kPa ultra-high strength steel plate used by finidi, one of its high-end brands, is widely used. It can be seen that the strength of AB column is 1200Mpa. Then, look at the performance of Teana in the head-on collision of China Insurance Research Institute. Strength of German medium-sized car steel: 1. Volkswagen magotan. Officially, it is claimed that 23% 1000 MPa hot-formed ultra-high strength steel plate is used in Magotan body, but the specific strength and use position are not mentioned. 2. Volkswagen Passat. Coincidentally, Volkswagen Passat has no steel strength map, and the specific steel strength and location are not clear. This only means that the proportion of hot-formed steel in the car body has increased from 7% to 27%.

After reading the test results of China Insurance Research Institute, I seem to understand something. Because we must make these unscrupulous car companies understand that the people of China are not indifferent to safety, and the people of China should have safer cars. Gone are the days when safety depended entirely on blowing.
