AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/04 Report--

China Insurance Research C-IASI, which has been silent for half a year, released collision reports of as many as five models in one breath a few days ago, including a number of previously tested models, which once again set off public opinion of the China Insurance Research C-IASI, which was gradually forgotten by netizens. In response to the various factors of "silence", the China Insurance Research Institute also responded.

As we all know, China Insurance Research, as a company led by the China Insurance Industry Association and funded by eight property insurance companies, is not only the only full member of the international organization RCAR in China, but also a member of the well-known American Highway Safety Insurance Association (IIHS).

Since its establishment, because of the 25% offset collision test with the front 25% of the American IIHS, many models have shown "prototypes", which is in great contrast to the domestic five-star safe China Automotive Research C-NCAP, which has attracted much attention both inside and outside the industry, even because the "sales magic car" Passat is at the bottom of the safety score of the China Insurance Research C-IASI.

Unexpectedly, after the Honda Haoying evaluation conducted by the China Insurance Research Institute, although the vehicle crashed into the A-pillar, the occupant safety index was G (excellent). The next day, the official announced that the sensitive data of the evaluation results had been stolen, and Haoying's test results would be released at a later date. Let the China Insurance Research Institute fall into a crisis of public opinion, which lasted for half a year. On December 2, China Insurance Research once again released collision reports on five models, including Honda Haoying. Unexpectedly, the results of Honda Haoying officially released by China Insurance Research Institute were consistent with those previously stolen. Crashworthiness and maintenance economy is P (poor); occupant safety index is G (excellent).

As most of the models that have been tested in the PICC crash test will cause an uproar on the Internet, the models announced by PICC Research have generally performed well, so that netizens have once again raised questions from netizens, and some netizens feel that "Zhongbao Research has recharged its value?"

In response to this matter, the relevant leaders and experts of the China Insurance Research Institute accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from China Newsweek and responded to questions generally questioned by the outside world.

Among them, with regard to the evaluation results released only recently by Honda Haoying, Liu Ming, general manager of China Insurance Research and Test Center (Beijing) Co., Ltd.: the "Haoying incident" that has been hotly discussed on the Internet is actually a "data leak" incident that occurred in C-IASI. Before releasing the test results of the Haoying model, C-IASI officially did not release the test results of the model.

As for why Hao Ying in the evaluation of the A-column has been significantly bent, but the official release still won a number of G (excellent) ratings. Xu Wei, deputy director of the China Academy of Automotive Engineering Co., Ltd., said that PICC's evaluation of vehicles will be based on human injury, such as occupant protection and living space. Because most vehicles in accidents, more or less will appear certain deformation, but the official assessment of the main indicators are focused on the vehicle and occupant compartment, as well as some parts behind the firewall.

In fact, the assessment point stipulated by the official index is the upper corner of the A-pillar gate in the upper part of the passenger cabin, there are four examination points, and the rules are detailed, and we do not set an assessment index at the intersection of the A-pillar and the roof. From the point of view of the video, although the model has a large deformation, we can not judge all the defects of the A-column, nor can we judge whether the car is good or bad by the deformation of the roof part in front of the A-column and the connection with the A-pillar, which is not very scientific. The accurate way should be to judge the vehicle according to the examination points specified at the lower and upper ends of the occupant warehouse in the front collision, not just by the naked eye.

Also because of the announcement of the five models, there are three models visible A-pillar bending, but only Mazda 6 got A (good), Haoying and Lecker got G (excellent). With the previous A-column bending models, are obtained G (excellent) performance has a clear contrast. In addition, the China Insurance Research Institute also revealed that the 2020 Volkswagen Passat collision rating achieved a better performance, which also reflects the response speed of SAIC Volkswagen, rapid rectification of vehicle safety, and basically all G (excellent) pass, which also shows that the improvement is obvious. Such a rapid change can be achieved in just over half a year, which reflects the technological capability of the enterprise. However, it is the importance of the insurance safety index that can promote the rapid improvement of the safety and maintenance economy of their models.

In any case, the return of China Insurance Research Institute is bound to bear a certain public opinion crisis, but because compared with the five-star safe China Automobile Research C-NCAP, China Insurance Research Research is still more observable, as more models of the body, will also promote the attention of car companies to their models.
