Исправляем of Рено Сандеро 1! Отзыв Renault Sandero
13 November 2012 The guardian of Renault Sandero scores just a crash test star NCAP. Latin
The life of a driver in Europe is more than one in Latin America, it is a good question to ask French automaker Renault, which sells a potentially more dangerous version of its Sandero model in Latin America.
The Sandero scored just a single note extremely poor stars in a crash test designed to highlight the gaps between the safety of cars sold by major manufacturers in Latin America compared to more developed markets such as Europe.
The crash test for the most basic European model level sold under the brand of the budget of Renault Dacia and equipped with seatbelt load limiters front, front airbags for driver and passenger frontal airbag scored three stars for adult and four stars for children that test was carried out in 2008.
Not only the Brazilian model no air bags, but the expert testers found his body shell is not the same force that the European model and can not deal effectively with accidents in full frontal Qu ' is what it means in practice is the body structure started to give way on impact the European model retains its integrity under the same conditions.
The difference is important in the crash test in Brazil, steering wheel and the dashboard comes up against the driver, and the absence of an airbag which is even worse.
This is important because Latin America is an automotive high-growth market and has the highest per capita death rates in the world of road accidents 26 deaths per 100,000 people This is expected to increase to more than 30 100 000 2020.
I asked why this Renault; they responded Renault Sandero sold in South America, is in compliance with local laws and regulations Currently there is no obligation for the airbags to be fitted to new vehicles in this region welcomes Renault any improvement of legislation for vehicle safety and specification of its local products will change accordingly of any changes in legislation, the specification of all Sandero will include a driver and passenger airbag fitted as standard to March next year.
It is good news that Renault responds before the forces of the law to take action, but disappointing that the company does not do it because he believes it is the right way to manage its business The company did not respond concerns about the different forces of the body shell Sandero.
It is not only Renault which has been shown to miss the eight test models JAC 3, produced by the Chinese public company vehicle manufacturer JAC Motors also gained a star despite two airbags due to its poor structural integrity.
Max Mosley, president of world new vehicle assessment program NCAP says the evidence is frankly shocking that the major manufacturers are willing to offer for sale of cars of a star in Latin America when their cars a matter of routine to achieve five stars in Europe.
crash tests undermining traditional arguments The Latin NCAP was established three years ago to provide consumers in the region with an independent assessment of the safety of new cars, to embarrass manufacturers improve performance and encourage governments to implement the crash test regulations of United Nations vehicles.
The Euro NCAP crash test is in operation since 1997 and is regarded as a selling point for manufacturers.
Mosley said the fact of the lack of security features in the public domain is already heavily impact undermine the traditional argument that in developing countries, means low economic pressure level are inevitable.
Fortunately, the safety of putting Latin NCAP vehicles to the agenda, we now see the progress, he said that the rise in cars winning four stars is welcome and brings us closer to the day when cars of a star, which fail to pass even basic crash tests of the UN, are out of the market entirely.
Latin NCAP said the outcome of Renault was particularly disappointing given its reputation for security in Europe, and stressed the company is clearly able to do much better than the other Renault model tested, the Fluence, won four stars.
In fact, four other models achieved four stars, showing the combined benefits of improved resistance of the body shell, air bags and seat belts; Models included the Ford Fiesta KD, Honda City, Toyota Etios sedan and hatchback VW Polo The remaining tested model, the Volkswagen Bora Clasico, scored only three stars because of its poor structural integrity.
Carlos Macaya, President of the Automobile Club of Costa Rica now says that Latin NCAP is in its third year, we are beginning to see real benefits in terms of improving road safety for Latin America There are now more car four stars coming to market, and the message is clear much higher standards vehicle safety are not only perfectly possible but absolutely crucial in the tendency to safely increase region must continue We can not tolerate anything unless life depend.
