Do you think electric rooftop tents are just the new fad for camping? Look at this tragedy, you won't think so!
Recently, a Great Wall gun owner in Chengdu was unfortunately stuck in the neck of an electric tent on the roof of his car and died!
This accident quickly pushed the manufacturer Akinochi Company to the forefront. As an "old brand" of outdoor equipment, why did the electric tent products of Autumn Field cause such a tragedy?
It has been sitting for nearly 30 years and includes many car company partners
As an outdoor equipment manufacturer, Akinochi has nearly 30 years of development, and its product line covers rooftop tents, ground tents, outdoor furniture, etc. Headquartered in Xiamen, the company has obtained ISO9001 quality certification.
In addition to Great Wall Motors, Akinoji's official website claims to have formed a "strategic alliance" with Chery, BAIC, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and other car companies. Its seemingly "promising" development may also have something to do with it.
It has won industry awards, but the quality problem still exists
In January this year, the "Shanhaiju" electric rooftop tent involved won the "2024 China RV Golden Deer Award Cross-border Integration Award" at the Asian Games. Akinochi trumpets the product as "an unprecedented triple space that opens up a new future of camping."
Just before winning the award, in 2022, some users complained that another "Normandy" electric rooftop tent in Akinodi was faulty and uncontrollable, and bluntly said that "it is better to buy a manual tent".
In the face of such a hidden quality hazard, Akinochi was obviously slow to react, and it was not until this tragedy that it attracted national attention. Once an "industry leader", it has now become a "quality target".
An ordinary person died innocently because of an electric tent that he could not fully control.
Netizens also expressed their opinions
Stuck neck technology is the most important problem we need to solve in the field of technology
Hundreds of thousands of cars actually do not have an anti-pinch function
How did the neck get in, how did the key not work, and whether the remote control was improperly operated
In any case, the accident has happened, and we can only hope that the manufacturer will take product inspection and user safety seriously. After all, life safety is above all else, and this is the simple truth.
