On April 14, Euler Lightning Cat joined hands with Tianjin Zhongqi Center to successfully complete a series of collision challenges at the intersection of the driver's female dummy in simulated rainstorm weather. This is the first collision challenge in China with female dummies as the protagonist, bringing higher standards to the field of new energy vehicle safety testing.

　　Since October last year, the Euler Lightning Cat successfully completed the first high-speed spiral roll and drop challenge for electric vehicles in China, successfully passing the collision challenge mainly driven by female dummies with excellent performance. In just six months, the Euler Lightning Cat has completed two "high standard challenges" in the field of vehicle safety, not only filling the testing gap in relevant fields in China, but also reflecting Euler's continuous exploration and refinement of higher safety standards. Showcasing Euler's brand's original intention of "loving women more".

　　The female driver's dummy is the first to collide with Euler in China, paying close attention to the safety of female vehicles

　　In the rapidly growing new energy vehicle market, the scale of female consumers is also constantly expanding. China is the world's largest country in new energy vehicles, with a total of 1.319 million new energy vehicles sold domestically as of March. Moreover, according to the 2023 New Energy Vehicle Female User Insight Report, the number of female drivers in China has reached 162 million. However, in the transition from the era of fuel vehicles to the era of new energy vehicles, although technology is constantly evolving, there is still a significant technological gap for individual women. A typical problem is that the technology, rules, standards, and other aspects of the automotive industry are all developed around the needs of men. The dummies used in collision safety testing are based on male body characteristics, ignoring the objective differences in physiological structure, driving habits, sitting posture, and other factors between women and men.

　　In view of this, Euler adheres to the product development concept of safety first and love women more, committed to creating a higher level of vehicle safety, while focusing on female users and enhancing their safe driving experience. This challenge is the first collision challenge in China with female dummies as the protagonist. It is not only a rigorous test of the safety of the Euler Lightning Cat, but also a standard demonstration for the entire automotive industry to establish female user safety awareness and mechanisms, and better ensure women's travel safety. It has a milestone significance for the development of the industry.

　　Two stage in-depth testing of the most difficult Euler Lightning Cat strength in history, successfully passing the level

　　From relevant domestic research, it can be seen that in accident scenarios, women are more likely to be harmed by the same compression, displacement, and acceleration at the same location. For example, women are three times more likely than men to suffer from cervical hyperextension injuries, 47% more likely to suffer serious injuries, 71% more likely to suffer minor injuries, and 17% more likely to die. The previous model of using male dummies to proportionally reduce the size of female dummies did not accurately reflect the injury situation of women in collision accidents.

　　This challenge mainly simulates the scene of a vehicle colliding in a series at an intersection due to slippery road surface after wading in water. The first stage of the wading test simulates the driving scene of the vehicle when encountering rainstorm or ponding. The tested Euler lightning cats are immersed in 30cm deep water for 2 hours. This item focuses on the waterproof performance of the vehicle's three electric system. After the soaking is completed, the engineer will check the vehicle for any electrical leakage or inability to drive. In the end, the Euler Lightning Cat, which had undergone a 2-hour wading test, did not experience insulation faults and no fault codes, and was able to drive normally with power on. The first stage of the static safety test passed with full marks.

　　Subsequently, the Euler Lightning Cat moved on to the second stage of testing, and the challenge difficulty increased again. The vehicle will challenge a more difficult and risky serial collision. Test vehicle A is a collision vehicle, also known as a bullet vehicle. The driver is equipped with a female dummy and the passenger is equipped with a male dummy. Test vehicle B is the impacted vehicle, with a female dummy installed in the driver's seat and a child dummy installed behind the passenger seat. It is equivalent to test vehicle B being hit three times, the first collision at the intersection, and the second collision caused by sliding towards the electric pole. At the same time, the bullet car did not stop and continued to press forward, followed by a third collision.

　　Both test vehicles withstood the extremely strict working conditions of a 1.9 ton bullet car hitting the side of the target vehicle with a hard front and a pole collision on the other side of the target vehicle. The structure of the bullet car's A-pillar and front anti-collision beam is intact, and the frontal collision performance is excellent. The main pressure bearing parts of the target vehicle, B-pillar, sill beam and upper side beam, have not undergone structural deformation, providing sufficient Lebensraum for passengers inside the vehicle. The seat belts of the two cars automatically pre tighten and trigger, and the main airbag, side airbag, and side curtain quickly pop out, effectively catching the crucial parts of the dummy. Secondly, the entire vehicle has no leakage, fire, or explosion, and the doors are automatically unlocked. The emergency rescue system actively calls out, providing passengers with sufficient emergency escape time and opportunities.

　　The Euler Lightning Cat has withstood this extremely difficult challenge. The safety performance of the entire vehicle has met expectations, providing ample safety redundancy and collision protection for all passengers.

　　The First Chinese New Energy Vehicle, Female Safety Crash Pioneer, Euler Lightning Cat, Where Is Your Confidence?

　　Euler has always adhered to the principle of "building cars to high standards", focusing on the craftsmanship of "higher standards" in manufacturing, daring to constantly challenge safety benchmarks, and conducting rigorous tests on vehicles that are higher than national and industry standards. Successfully passing the TOP Safety domestic first female driver's dummy intersection collision challenge with outstanding performance is the best interpretation of the strength and safety design of the Euler Lightning Cat in car building, and it is also sufficient to demonstrate that the Euler Lightning Cat provides many meticulous care and protection for female users in active and passive safety and vehicle use scenarios.

　　In terms of basic hardware safety, Euler has collaborated multiple times with TOP Safety to conduct comprehensive tests on the highly sensitive battery safety and vehicle body safety of consumers. In October 2022, the four ultra national standard battery safety tests of the Euler Lightning Cat set an industry safety benchmark. The Euler Lightning Cat's cage body, designed according to the Chinese C-NCAP and European E-NCAP dual five-star standards, accounted for 77.6% of the vehicle's high-strength materials. Simulation optimization was conducted on the structural application of hot-formed steel. The A-pillar and B-pillar were both made of 2000MPa hot-formed steel, and fiber reinforced composite materials were added to the interior of the B-pillar, The vehicle design is both "strong" and "tough", allowing the Euler Lightning Cat to withstand an impact force of 10 tons. Combining advanced collision collapse zone and high-strength cockpit area optimization design, the Euler Lightning Cat continuously challenges safety testing standards and sets new records for collision safety testing of new energy vehicles in China.

　　In terms of active safety, the Euler Lightning Cat has also taken the lead in the industry. The entire vehicle is equipped with AEB automatic emergency braking, LKA lane keeping system, BSD blind spot monitoring system as standard, and supports functions such as one click automatic parking on mobile apps and 360 panoramic imaging. The super perception ability and super convenience make the Euler Lightning Cat a safe, easy to drive, comfortable, and intelligent new generation pure electric sedan that female drivers can easily control.

　　According to a study by the US Department of Transportation, NHTSA, and the Federal Highway Administration, even if a female driver or front passenger wears a seat belt during an accident, the likelihood of death is 17% higher than that of a male. A 2019 study by the University of Virginia also found that they controlled for all variables such as car model, height, weight, and age of the same year, but female members had a 73% higher risk of injury in front collisions than male members.

　　In response, Dr. Kristy Arbogast, a director of the American Association for the Development of Automotive Medicine, once stated that women are not simply a reduced version of men, and their body structures are different. Without female dummies participating in simulation testing, various interior safety configurations and body structure designs aimed at reducing human collision injuries cannot provide a qualitative improvement in women's protection.

　　Nowadays, it is common for women to drive cars for transportation. However, in most impact test reports, the test subjects are male dummies, which does not prohibit women from raising concerns about vehicle safety. In March of this year, Dongchedi released the "2023 New Energy Vehicle Female User Insight Report", which showed that in the field of new energy vehicles in China, the preference level of women is as high as 66%, 1.5 times higher than that of men. The increase in women's voice in car purchasing decisions requires relevant institutions and automakers to actively view changes and take practical actions for them.

　　Although countries around the world have not yet mandated the use of female dummies for collision testing, Euler, who dares to challenge and innovate endlessly, once again leads the industry by understanding women's needs and paying attention to their safety. I believe that in the future, the Euler Lightning Cat will continue to use its excellent vehicle safety performance to continuously break through performance constraints and open up greater imagination space for female users' worry free travel.
