On February 17th, the China News program on Channel 4 reported that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had solicited opinions on the safety requirements for rear collisions of passenger cars, and reported on the safety test challenge of AITO Wenjie M9 participating in the "Heavy Truck Front and Rear Clash Condition" of China Automotive Research SUPER CRASH. In this challenge, The AITO WENJIE M9 has performed excellently, achieving a total of six awards and obtaining the A-level certification for front and rear pinch protection performance of new energy passenger vehicles and heavy-duty trucks.

Six Excellent Achievements Achieved A-level Certification

The "China Automotive Research SUPER CRASH" safety limit exploration platform aims to test the safety performance of vehicles. Based on the FASS traffic accident database, it extracts the "front and rear collision condition of heavy-duty trucks" and participates in the challenge of this condition with the new energy vehicle M9. The platform examines the vehicle structure, dummy injury, restraint system, electrical safety, fuel safety, and post accident rescue from six dimensions. This experiment is the first time in China that a new energy passenger car has been used. It simulates the working condition of a city road passenger car following a heavy truck and waiting for traffic lights, encountering a rear end collision from a heavy truck driving from behind and subsequently producing a front and rear collision.

Before the experiment, the truck was a stationary 30 ton heavy-duty dump truck, while the rear truck was an 8-ton 10 meter box truck, driving at a rear end speed of 50km/h. During the drilling process, The M9 A-pillar pushes the front heavy truck apart without any bending or deformation, making it very sturdy. Meanwhile, B C. The D-pillar has not undergone significant deformation, and the living space for passengers inside the car is effectively guaranteed. After the rear end collision, all car doors are unlocked and easily opened, the dual flashing emergency lights are turned on, the emergency rescue phone in the background is connected normally, and the entire vehicle is powered off in a timely manner with high voltage to ensure electrical safety as soon as possible. After the experiment, there was no leakage of fuel or electrolyte, or any ignition or combustion phenomenon. Ultimately, M9 achieved excellent results in six testing items and was certified as "A-level for front and rear pinch protection performance of new energy passenger vehicles and heavy-duty trucks.".

The super strong Xuanwu body leads more than one generation

Being able to deliver such excellent results in the experiment demonstrates the ultimate safety performance of the M9 and also demonstrates the leading manufacturing strength of Celes Automobile. At the beginning of its design, the M9 made great efforts in three aspects: body safety design, body lightweighting, and integrated die-casting technology, safeguarding travel safety with a super strong Xuanwu body.

With the help of the globally leading 9000T die-casting machine, which was first introduced by the Celes Superfactory, The M9 adopts the world's largest integrated die cast rear body, reducing the number of integrated parts by 95%, reducing the number of connection points by 70%, and increasing torsional stiffness by 23%. The rear body also won the "Oscar in the Die Casting Industry" - the 2023 NADCA (North American Die Casting Association) Best Structural Component Award. Effectively reducing body weight and significantly improving body rigidity. The volume of aluminum alloy in the car body accounts for 80%, and the lightweight of the car body reaches 2.02.

Meanwhile, The M9 uses 2000Mpa nuclear submarine grade hot formed steel at 12 locations throughout the vehicle, which can minimize deformation caused by collisions in the event of accidents and provide fortress style safety protection. This is well supported by the strong ABCD column of M9 in the heavy truck pinch test.

In addition, The M9 also adopts industry-leading collision safety design and incorporates non-standard collision scenarios (rollover, rear end collision, drilling, scraping, etc.) beyond standard scenarios into the design, using a higher collision safety design standard combining national standards and non-standard standards to ensure the ultimate safety of the passenger compartment. Previously, The M9 has won honors such as the 2023 China Top 10 Vehicle Bodies and Top 10 Low Carbon Vehicle Bodies Awards. It has also received authoritative safety certification from China Automotive Research Institute, and its safety performance, which is more than one generation ahead, has once again been proven.

The front and rear collision conditions of the "China Automotive Research SUPER CRASH" heavy-duty truck have put forward higher requirements for vehicle safety performance. The automotive company's products can pass this high standard test, and the strength of safety products is beyond doubt. Whether in terms of body structure, materials, or design and manufacturing processes, the M9 places great importance on safety, truly reflecting the "leading hardcore safety of more than one generation".

Years ago, The AITO Wenjie M9 has started the first batch of thousand car deliveries, and more users will be able to truly experience the leading travel experience and ultimate safety protection brought by high-end luxury models.
