The M817's Hellish Crash Test | Is It Better Than a Volvo? | Dongfeng Mhero M817 Crash Safety Tests

The highly anticipated Mengshi M817 will officially go on pre-sale on July 17th. The first off-road vehicle equipped with Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS4, the Mengshi M817 has also undergone an unprecedented extreme crash test. This test, the first of its kind in the industry, puts the Mengshi M817's safety performance to the ultimate test by simulating a chain collision scenario involving "truck bottoming out + front and rear compression." During the test, the Mengshi M817 first encountered a bottoming out collision, then struck the underbody of a 22-ton truck at 50 km/h, and was then rear-ended and compressed by a 5-ton truck at the same speed. This series of crashes undoubtedly poses a significant challenge to the vehicle's underbody protection and overall durability. However, the Mengshi M817 demonstrated incredible safety performance in this rigorous test. Test data showed that the lattice-type body structure effectively dispersed the impact force, the ABC pillars did not deform significantly after the collision, and the passenger compartment structure remained intact, providing ample living space for the occupants. Even more rare is the fact that, in such a severe collision, the Mengshi M817's battery pack did not catch fire or explode, and the electrolyte and fuel systems did not leak, ensuring the vehicle's safety performance. The Mengshi M817 is also equipped with an advanced vehicle E-CALL system. In the test, the system activated immediately after the collision, successfully connecting to the manual customer service, and providing timely emergency rescue assistance to the occupants. This detailed design undoubtedly further enhances the Mengshi M817's safety performance. In addition to its excellent passive safety performance, the Mengshi M817 also demonstrates excellent active safety performance. It is equipped with Huawei's latest multi-dimensional collision avoidance system, CAS 4.0, which meets the class-leading collision avoidance safety standard. Whether driving human-powered or intelligently assisted, the system provides effective active safety protection. The new vehicle is also equipped with the Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving System DS 4, which further strengthens its active safety capabilities and creates a future-proof safety barrier. The Mengshi M817's safety design encompasses the entire chain, including mechanical robustness, battery protection, intelligent prediction, and emergency rescue, demonstrating its excellent quality as the "first intelligent off-road vehicle." As pre-sale approaches, this new model, which is both urban and wild, remote, intelligent, and safe, will undoubtedly set a new benchmark in the high-end new energy SUV market.
