NetEase Auto reported on October 12 On October 11, Weilai ET5 （ parameter | picture ）T obtained a five-star safety rating in the Euro NCAP 2023 crash test, which is the third model of Weilai to reach the five-star safety rating of the new E-NCAP 2023 regulation after ET5 and ES7.

■ Test score:

ET5T scores 96%, 85%, 83% and 81% for passenger safety, child safety, vulnerable road user safety and auxiliary safety. Among them, the two tests of side deformable barrier and side pillar impact are close to full score. In the four vehicle crash tests of passenger protection in the vehicle, Weilai ET5T and ET5 both achieved the best results in the history of the E-NCAP sedan group.

- Front collision/front collision

In terms of body structure, ET5T innovatively adopts Shotgun, front longitudinal beam and subframe three section parallel collision force transmission structure in the front compartment impact energy absorption area. During the test of moving progressive deformation obstacle, the energy is well transmitted and the passenger compartment remains intact.

In addition, the front and rear anti-collision beams and energy absorption boxes of the ET5T are made of 6-series aluminum profiles, and the front longitudinal beam is made of high-strength variable thickness laser tailor welded panels, which combine energy absorption and strength maintenance to ensure the safety of the passenger compartment.

- Side collision

The passenger compartment of ET5T also performs well in the side impact link through aluminum extruded profile sill beam, 1300Mpa ultra-high strength hot formed steel middle channel, and high-strength steel A, B, and C pillars:

In the case of side deformable barrier and side pillar impact, the ET5T is equipped with a remote middle airbag that provides good protection for all key body areas of the passengers in the vehicle, especially the child dummy, and gets the highest score.

- Child safety

The test of rear child safety seats is one of the features of E-NCAP, and Weilai ET5T also performs well in this link:

- Capping test

The single side constant pressure coefficient of Weilai ET5 roof is as high as 5.6, that is, the compressive capacity is 5.6 times the vehicle weight. However, the roof strength of Weilai ET5T is stronger than that of ET5, and its performance can be seen in videos:

■ What are the changes of the 2023 version of E-NCAP?

E-NCAP 2023 adds remote occupant protection for post impact in the passive safety part, and the penalty points for front-end structure compatibility are doubled. At the same time, in order to evaluate the operability of the escape from drowning, the test also introduced the flooding test. In the pedestrian protection item, the protection scope for cyclists has been increased. In the active safety part, E-NCAP 2023 will add more than 100 active safety scenarios, and introduce more diverse road target types, including cars, motorcycles, electric vehicles, bicycles, adults and children. The complexity of road traffic scenarios has been improved, mainly including the emergency scenarios of turning at the intersection and encountering pedestrians and two wheeled vehicles crossing, the scenarios of the intersection responding to passing vehicles, the scenarios of high-speed approaching of opposite vehicles, and the scenarios of lateral avoidance of driving in the adjacent lane.

In the test of China Insurance Research Corporation, Weilai ET5 also obtained the annual safety best rating (AGGG), which shows that Weilai models do have a set of safety, and the basic technology of new forces is also impressive.
