Pedestrian protection

When developing a new car more and more stress is put on minimization of consequences of its collision with a pedestrian. IDIADA CZ therefore designs parts in a way to be able to absorb the impact of the pedestrian and suppress the energy of such impact and also not only to conform to homologation regulations (which are set by European association of car makers ACEA) but also to the customers’ test of Euro NCAP, which serve customers as comparative guide when choosing a car.

Correct function of all components is verified using FEM calculation simulations or eventually also by physical testing of an impact of impactor into relevant car part.
