Not
just making electric cars, Volvo, the famous car brand of security also
want to make electric cars truly aman.Untuk the Volvo test one of its
products, electric version of the C30 for a test-crash (crash-test)
before the speed 64 km / h. ."The
test results show, it is important to separate the battery from the
crushed (crumple-zone) in order to increase security levels. In
Detroit, we were the first car manufacturer to test the security of
real electric cars in a collision at high speed, "said Volvo president
and CEO, Stefan Jacoby.Unlike
other manufacturers, Volvo have started to also switch to electric cars
because of its efficiency is very high and do not cause pollution.The
electric motor used to propel the car has four times the level of
efficiency than cars with combustion engines (gasoline and diesel).But more than that, Volvo wants to make electric cars an efficient and safe.C30 Electrical crash tested when the battery is fully charged. Tabrakannya method is called offset collision with a 40 percent hit the front of the barrier at a speed of 64 km / h."The test results were in line with expectations. Electric C30 C30 level of security similar to gasoline or diesel. Battery and cables, part of the electrical system, still attached (connected) after the collision, "said Jan Ivansson, Senior Manager Safety Strategy and Reguirements Volvo Cars.The structure of electric cars is different from the conventional version. For example, C30 Electric battery weighs about 300 pounds and require special packaging and place.Volvo separate lithium-ion batteries from the crushed vehicle. Batteries are also separated from the passenger compartment. This approach is similar to the laying of the fuel tank on a conventional car.C30 is also equipped with an electric sensor fuse menggontrol collision. Electricity from the battery can be disconnected in 50 milliseconds, as fast with the time required to activate the air bag (airbag).Fuses are used to prevent direct end short circuit that could endanger passengers or make a car on fire.Front C30 reinforced structure to absorb collision energy because of the extra weight of batteries.
