There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first. Traffic safety is about the happiness of every family, and nothing is more important than reaching your destination safely, especially when danger really happens, and a car that can protect you is trustworthy.
A few days ago, a owner of the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L shared his experience of being unscathed under the protection of the vehicle in a car accident, which caused concern, and the owner praised it, "This accident verified that the safety of the Peugeot 508L is trustworthy." Perhaps this is the origin of a lifelong legal system of entering the legal system."
According to the owner of the car, at that time he was driving the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L through an intersection without traffic lights, because there was no vehicle in the straight lane in front, the speed was relatively fast, and it was violently hit to the side of the body by the vehicle coming from the other direction at high speed, and a real side collision was staged at the intersection, and finally the traffic police determined that the other party was fully responsible.

From the scene situation, the Owner's Dongfeng Peugeot 508L was hit by a high-speed side impact, the side wall structure of the cab area was not a major problem, in addition to the door being hit by a depression, the A-pillar, B-pillar including the threshold did not appear deformed, effectively ensuring the living space of the vehicle occupants.
At the same time, the door of the crashed side was not opened because of the impact, avoiding the risk of throwing the occupants out of the car in the accident; coupled with the main driver and the rear side air curtain airbag and the main driver seat airbag were ejected at the first time, the personal safety of the owner was greatly protected; not only that, after the impact, the non-collision side door of the vehicle could be opened smoothly, the vehicle could also start normally, and good conditions were created for the rescue of the occupants and vehicles.
Side impact combat test, more safety color
As we all know, intersections in daily life are frequent traffic accidents. According to incomplete statistics, intersection accidents account for 22% of all traffic accidents, and show a high incidence; many of these accidents are vehicle frontal and side collisions, and in China's vehicle-to-vehicle collision traffic accidents, side collisions account for 19%, second only to rear-end collisions.
The side of the vehicle is basically the weakest part of the entire body, unlike the front and rear of the car have a large collision collapse area, the energy absorption buffer space is very small, the side impact force often acts directly on the human body, so when a major side collision accident occurs, the damage to the occupants in the car is also greater, the injury and disability rate are relatively higher, and the number of casualties caused by the side collision is the largest of all accidents. How to reduce the injuries caused by such accidents has become an important issue for automobile manufacturers to develop vehicles.
Therefore, in the actual test of the high-speed side collision accident staged on the real road, the owner was undamaged, and the vehicle he drove was also very good compared to the vehicle that caused the accident, and the performance of the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L was perfect and more safety.
Conscience car, reassuring car, safety car without fear of test
As the flagship model of the Dongfeng Peugeot brand, the 508L has such safety performance and dongfeng Peugeot's excellent safety design concept. Of course, such a safety performance is not unexpected for the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L.
After all, more than a year ago, Dongfeng Peugeot 508L had successfully challenged the "first public high-speed two-way side collision test in China" in the crash test room of The China Automotive Technology and Research Center in Tianjin, setting a domestic record in this overall difficulty, surpassing the current crash standard in the test with a scoring rate of 88.75%, and the on-site evaluation score was excellent.
Such outstanding performance stems from the body of Dongfeng Peugeot 508L "steel and iron bone". The application of high-strength steel in the vehicle accounts for more than 70%, and the most important longitudinal beams of the body, A/B columns, seat beams, door anti-collision beams and other parts, it is up to 1500MPa high-strength thermoformed steel. What is this concept? In the words of Wan Shiming, senior vehicle expert of the Technical Quality Department of DPCA, "a high-strength steel belt with a USB port section can lift an adult elephant weighing 5 tons without breaking the steel plate." In the accident experienced by the above-mentioned owners, it is the door anti-collision beam using high-strength thermoformed steel that plays a role. These high-strength steels form an ultra-high-strength cage structure similar to a space capsule, which fully protects the safety of the occupants.
In addition, the whole vehicle has more than 4600 ultra-high density solder joints, using laser welding of more than 10 meters, plus a new structural glue of 21 meters long that far exceeds the same level, which greatly improves the comfort and impact resistance of the body. Not only that, the 508L body is made of aluminum alloy material in many places, which improves safety performance and can effectively reduce the weight of the body. Dongfeng Peugeot 508L vehicles are equipped with a rare aluminum alloy collision beam of the same level, and the collision beam and the energy absorption box are coordinated with each other to effectively absorb the impact energy and reduce the deformation of the body.
Not only that, but the safety performance of the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L has also been unanimously praised by industry experts. For example, Professor Zhang Jinchang, an authoritative expert in the field of national automotive safety, one of the founders of domestic automobile crash safety research, the organizer of the "China First Collision" created by DPCA Fukang Sedan in 1998, and the director of the Collision Laboratory of the State Key Laboratory of Safety and Energy Conservation of Tsinghua University, witnessed the process of the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L side collision challenge on the spot and gave high praise. She said that this test is difficult and has many uncontrollable factors, and it is not easy to achieve such excellent results. This incident is of exemplary significance like the "First Collision of China" in that year. Once again, DPCA and Dongfeng Peugeot are highly confident in the quality of their own products.

This high-speed side collision at the intersection in the real road environment fully proves that the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L is indeed a conscience car, a reassuring car, and a safety car. With safety first and quality-oriented, Dongfeng Peugeot 508L has the leading active and passive safety configuration, high standard materials and strict workmanship, which will bring consumers a safe and ultimate driving experience.
