Volkswagen Tanyue: Disassemble the anti-collision beam to see how good it is?

This Volkswagen Tanyue is a special supply in China, what is the internal quality? Take it apart today and start with the anti-collision beam.

Front impact beam

Double stamped steel plate

Remove the front bumper of this car, you can see the pedestrian protection foam inside, and a double-layer stamped steel front crash beam, with a thickness of 1.90 mm, can cover 60.78% of the front of the car.

In addition to the main crash beam, the car also designed a secondary collision beam to prevent pedestrians from getting involved, which is the same as the old Tanyue that was previously dismantled.

Because the new Tanyue front bar logo has become a "hair cursor", the ACC radar, which was originally installed behind the logo, is installed under the front impact beam. In this way, the probability of injury from the ACC radar increases.

The "Shotgun" extends from the A-pillar to the front of the car, and it is not a closed wrap-around design, it is a direct "hard hit".

The front energy absorber box is a self-contained removable structure with collapsed folds and punched holes.

The two stringers on the left and right sides of the front of this car are not of the same thickness, the left side member is thicker, and the right side member is thinner. It is estimated that this car knows that it is a special car, so it will not go abroad for crash tests, and in 40% or 25% of crash tests in China, only the driver's side, that is, the left side of the stringer. Therefore, the left side longitudinal beam is made thicker, which can improve the test score; A little thinner on the right side can reduce costs.

Rear impact beam

Single-layer stamped steel sheet

The rear impact beam is a single-layer stamped steel plate with a thickness of 2.01 mm and can cover 69.60% of the rear of the car, which is exactly the same as the previous old Tanyue.

The rear energy absorbing box is very regular, and the collapse folds and perforations are very complete. The rear energy absorbing box originally had 4 fixing bolts each, but the left energy absorbing box was missing one, and the mounting holes were still there.

The rear anti-collision beam is more convex than the rear tailgate, and generally international mature car companies will not have problems in this regard.

summary

It's too well placed

This new Volkswagen Tanyue has made little progress in the design of the anti-collision beam, and the bolt of the rear energy-absorbing box is still "three missing one", after all, Volkswagen's cost control is already the benchmark level in the industry. The longitudinal beams with different thicknesses on the left and right are obviously a low-cost response to pass the domestic crash test, and it can be seen that the special version of Tanyue, for the domestic collision agency, for China's national conditions, is very in place!

So what is the condition with the chassis of this car? Stay tuned for subsequent car dismantling. (The measurement data in this article and video is the sole responsibility for this vehicle, and the measurement data is responsible for the published experimental method.) ）
