The moose test is an internationally recognized important standard for measuring vehicle safety, and the test's name originates from moose. Moose are distributed across the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe and most parts of North America, often jumping out unexpectedly in front of vehicles and colliding with high-speed vehicles, causing serious traffic accidents. The moose test evaluates a vehicle's ability to avoid obstacles. The method of the moose test is as follows: the vehicle, in a fully loaded state (with four occupants and corresponding weights in the trunk), enters the test area at a constant speed and performs high-speed evasion without applying the brakes or throttle. The test is conducted repeatedly by two testers in the front seats, gradually increasing the speed until the vehicle loses control, at which point the speed is recorded. The test is then verified twice to confirm the reliability of the speed at which control is lost.

What Does Automotive Torque Refer To?

Automotive torque refers to the rotational force output from the crankshaft of an engine. Under constant power conditions, it has an inverse relationship with engine speed – the faster the speed, the smaller the torque, and vice versa. It reflects the vehicle's load-bearing capacity within a certain range. External torque is called torsional moment or external couple moment, while internal torque is referred to as internal couple moment or torque. The magnitude of automotive torque plays a decisive role in the vehicle's speed and climbing ability. The greater the torque, the more power the engine outputs, the faster the crankshaft speed changes, and the better the vehicle's climbing ability, starting speed, and acceleration performance. Its unit is Newton-meter (Nm).
