Crash testing an electric Scania truck

Electric truck crash testing is not the same as that of a truck with a combustion engine. The energy from the impact needs to be distributed and should spread throughout the structure surrounding the battery. The desired state is that it deforms the plastic and distributes kinetic energy into less critical components.

Preparing for any crash test is a lot of work. It can take months of precision planning to get all the details just right. The real test takes place after numerous simulations have been carried out. “The actual crash test is ultimately only to confirm that our calculations were accurate,” says Test Engineer Jakob Leygraf at Scania R&D.

Seeing this VW, I remembered the good old days when Scania used SAAB in its tests, and SAAB used Scania trucks in its tests!!

Såklart ni använder en Volkswagen, gör om och gör rätt 🇸🇪

Strange...
Like inside that chassis there was no room for longitudinal installation of the battery pack in the center.
Some engineers are pretty dumb when they don't take into account center of gravity...
At least it looks the inner packs are protected via sandwich placing.
But something tells me if the truck hits a pole the result won't be the same...

Thats the Saint Göran truck? Wow.

A parasitic truck.
