Carried out at "only" 64 km / h in frontal impact ...

Google translation says:

Same test as Euro NCAP

The crash test of the Swedish Transport Administration is identical to that used in Euro NCAP, a European consumer organization that carries out crash tests for cars; a frontal impact of 64 km / h against a barrier corresponding to a vehicle of the same weight. Although the motorhomes were unloaded at the time, they are relatively heavy.

In this case, the tests correspond to a frontal impact of 90 km / h on an average car. This is a difficult test that unfortunately corresponds to an accident scenario that is not unusual on our roads.

I do not understand the equivalent 64 km / h in a wall = 90 km / h front (so 180 km / h in relative) ... Can anyone help?

[thibr]

that's why you have to limit the speed to 80km / h

After the motorhomes against a wall, the crash test of a 40 Tons against a car against another stationary semi ... all at 43 km / h according to the legend of the video ...

I don't quite understand the equivalence 64 km / h in a wall = 90 km / h in front ...

The wall is a non-deformable structure, which is not the case when colliding with another vehicle; I suppose that the respective impact calculations lead to these precise figures. Besides, a perfectly frontal collision, therefore with a rectilinear trajectory, should hardly be observed: there are effects of deviation and sliding.

ah the carnage ...

Another truck crash test:

I put that there, a crash test at 300 km/h...it's obviously a computer simulation (a priori the engine block + gearbox is not modeled...because it should appear at least at some point in the cabin) but it gives an idea:

Morality, I would prefer to have a shock at 300 km/h, than at 130, at least, you are fixed immediately.

at 200 with a classic sedan you take 400G
