Euro-NCAP (European New Vehicle Safety Evaluation Association) is the most authoritative safety testing organization in the automotive industry. It was founded in 1997 and was initiated by the governments of five European countries. It is a project that combines European Union organizations, academics and high technology. The professional safety appraisal organization established by the technicians, all new cars sold in Europe, are required to deliver the sales of the car to Euro-NCAP for crash testing through Euro-NCAP professional and rigorous safety evaluation.

The current version of Euro-NCAP is a new version of the new vehicle safety evaluation system launched in February 2009. The biggest change in the overall new Euro-NCAP is to change the individual star rating to the overall star rating. This overall star rating includes occupant protection, child protection, pedestrian protection and newly added safety aids.

In a word, the new version of Euro-NCAP combines the above four test items into one comprehensive evaluation, and no longer gives a separate star. This change is also to increase the automaker’s emphasis on children and pedestrian protection. .

New Euro-NCAP scoring standard:

In the network, we found the new Euro-NCAP scoring standard, which is equivalent to a standard answer to the examination paper, so that we can fully understand Geely's four-star transcript.

The information the charts bring to us is always the most intuitive. We can see that the new Euro-NCAP standard for the total score of stars is not fixed, and the standards will increase over time. For example, the Euro-NCAP five-star total score is 70% in 2009, 75% in 2010, and 80% in 2012. Other stars have the same overall score. Specific content, please see the following chart:

In the second chart, we can find the star-qualified scale that the new version of Euro-NCAP specifies for the content of the four collision tests. Although the four test contents have been integrated into a total score, the adult protection item occupies a higher weight. In comparison, it has reached 50%. In addition, children's protection and pedestrian protection both account for 20%, and safety assistance projects account for 10%.

With the above rating standards, we will conduct a re-evaluation of the Euro-NCAP four-star collision results of Geely Emgrand EC7, and conduct in-depth analysis of the details of the collision test to improve everyone's understanding of the Euro-NCAP collision test.

Occupant protection item score analysis:

The above chart clearly expresses the score composition of the occupant protection project. Geely Dorsett EC has a total score of 27 points on this test item, and the item scores are as follows: 64km/h offset 9.1 points 50km/h side touch 8 points 29km /h Lateral column touch 6.1 points whip test 3.7 points

According to the rating standards and degree of protection, we can see that Geely Dorsett EC7 scored a perfect score of 50 km/h (8 points) in the side collision and scored more prominently in the Euro-NCAP increased whipping experiment, with a score of 3.7 points. It's only 0.3 points out of 4 points.

As for the other two items, Geely Dorsett EC7 scored more points, and the protection score for the driver's foot in the 64 km/h bias test was zero, while the protection of the driver's chest in the 50 km/h side bump was also poor.

The total score of 27 points in the occupant protection item accounted for 75% of the total score. It was only one step away from the 80% pass line of the Five Stars. In addition, the 50% weight ratio of the project led directly to the Geely Dorsett EC7 and Euro- NCAP's five-star defeat.

in conclusion:

Through the in-depth interpretation of the Geely emgrand EC7 Euro-NCAP four-star results, we have clearly seen how the four-star performance of the crash test came from. We are very pleased to see behind this four-star performance. Not only has a high gold content, but also three of them have reached and exceeded the European five-star standard, which shows that Geely is not testing for collision testing, but focused on how to improve product safety, and has been Imported car brands are on par. In addition, Geely’s spirit of daring to try is also worthy of our encouragement and support. After several independent models were hit by the Euro-NCAP crash test, Geely also dared to conduct high-rigorous Euro-NCAP tests on its products, which itself It shows that Geely is confident in the security collision.

On the other hand, we also need to rationally see the gap with international quality. Especially in the protection of passengers, the degree of protection of the driver’s feet by the Geely Dorsett EC7 is too low. This is where we need to improve as soon as possible, not only for the sake of In the future, it will be possible to achieve better results in Euro-NCAP, but also to protect the safety of people in the car in real life.

The Euro-NCAP four-star results for China's autonomous car prices means:

Due to the late start of China's autonomous car companies, various factors, such as the level of manufacturing, independent technology, and low brand awareness, have led to difficulties in the development of independent enterprises in the Chinese market and the embarrassing situation in which products are not recognized. The Geely emgrand EC7's four-star performance in the European NCAP crash test has greatly improved the image of independent products in the hearts of Chinese auto-consumers. It also illustrates the rapid development of China's autonomous auto companies in terms of quality and safety. Under the pressure of Geely to achieve this result, it can also bring the entire independent enterprise to a new level in terms of security collision.

Editor's Note: The Geely emgrand EC7's four-star result in this Euro-NCAP collision is indeed worthy of recognition. This shows that Geely has been in line with international standards in terms of safety collisions, but the progress of a car company does not represent the entire Chinese independent enterprise. The progress we hope to see is the overall strength of Chinese auto companies.
