Does the Toyota Vios have an anti-collision beam?
1 Answers
Toyota Vios is equipped with an anti-collision steel beam. The anti-collision steel beam is a U-shaped channel formed by stamping cold-rolled steel plates, connected to the frame longitudinal beams, serving as the first barrier of passive safety for the vehicle. It is an important safety device that absorbs and mitigates external impact forces, protecting the front and rear parts of the vehicle body. Below is relevant information about the anti-collision steel beam: 1. The ends of the Vios' anti-collision beam are connected to low-speed energy absorption boxes with very low yield strength, which are then bolted to the vehicle's longitudinal beams. These low-speed energy absorption boxes can effectively absorb collision energy during low-speed impacts, minimizing damage to the vehicle's longitudinal beams, thereby reducing repair costs. The bolted connection allows for easier replacement of the anti-collision beam. 2. In high-speed offset collisions, the anti-collision beam can effectively transfer the impact force from the left (or right) side of the vehicle to the right (or left) side, allowing the entire vehicle body to absorb the collision energy as much as possible. During low-speed collisions (generally below 15km/h), the anti-collision beam can prevent damage to the front and rear longitudinal beams of the vehicle body, reducing repair costs.
