This is how they tested the damage resistance of the components of the hybrid system
Jetour conducted an atypical crash test of the Jetour T2 crossover — the car at a speed of 40 km/h passed through one brick wall, and then, at a speed of 60 km/h, crashed into another similar wall.
Moreover, these are not the walls of some house or building, but simply walls built at the training ground. In the comments to this post on dongchedi.com, some users pointed out the weak margin of safety of the walls due to… not dried mortar on which the bricks were placed. Why the Chinese were not satisfied with the usual crash test at the same speed of 60-64 km/h with full or partial overlap — unclear.
By breaking through brick walls, Jetour decided to test the resistance to damage of the components of the C-DM hybrid system — This is a new powerplant for the Jetour T2, the public premiere of such a car will take place next week at the Beijing Auto Show.
Judging by the photo, the SUV withstood the first impact with relatively minor losses: the hood reared up, the headlights and front trim were broken, but everything remained in place. But the photo of the car after the second impact shows much more serious damage. But Jetour reported that the traction battery had no defects and was not deformed. Considering that the traction battery is located in the base, it was, in principle, difficult to deform it with such a crash test.
Recall that Geely recently conducted an even more absurd crash test: Monjaro was hit on both sides by Honda CR-V crossovers suspended from two cranes.
