Geely inaugurates its global vehicle safety testing center
The automaker Geely has launched its Global Safety Center, a facility entirely dedicated to evaluating and testing vehicle safety. Located in China, this complex covers an area of 45,000 square meters, with a total built surface area reaching 80,000 m². The company confirms that the center is already operational and its use is available to the entire automotive industry. At its inauguration, the facility achieved no less than five Guinness World Records 🏆.
A laboratory for extreme tests and complex scenarios
The facility integrates advanced technology to simulate a wide range of impact scenarios. It can reproduce frontal, side, and rear collisions, as well as rollovers and crashes against barriers. A key aspect is its ability to evaluate battery safety in electric vehicles, subjecting them to fire, water immersion, and crush tests. This allows engineers to analyze how components behave under the most demanding conditions 🔬.
Equipment and standout capabilities:- Simulators for frontal, side, rear impacts, and rollovers.
- Specialized systems for testing the integrity of electric vehicle batteries.
- Capacity for fire, immersion, and crush tests on components.
If you're going to crash cars, better do it big and make it into the history books. Efficiency and spectacle, all in one.
Guinness Records that demonstrate its power
Among the five world records established, the world's largest simultaneous collision test stands out, where multiple vehicles collide at the same time. It also achieved the record for the heaviest single vehicle collision test and the heaviest truck collision test. These achievements underscore the facility's capacity to handle complex and large-scale tests, generating comprehensive data to design safer automobiles 💥.
Guinness Records established:- World's largest simultaneous collision test (multiple vehicles).
- Heaviest single vehicle collision test.
- Heaviest truck collision test.
- Two additional records in safety tests.
An open resource to advance road safety
The opening of this center marks a milestone, not only for Geely, but for the sector. By being available to the entire industry, it becomes a shared resource for innovating in passive and active safety. The ability to conduct extreme and full-scale tests accelerates the process to develop more robust vehicles. This collaborative approach could translate into higher safety standards for all consumers worldwide 🚗.
