AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/31 Report--

Last week, the third generation Harvard H6 collided in the C-NCAP of China Automotive Center, which attracted wide attention from netizens.

The relevant responsible person said at the meeting that the abnormal situation of the Harvard H6 in the C-NACP crash test of the China Automobile Center was due to the power outage of some parts due to the ongoing system upgrade of the vehicle in the collision test, which led to the failure of the vehicle safety system.

According to the official statement, the experimental vehicle carried out the data download and installation of the software upgrade in the morning preparation phase. When the three-second countdown began before the experiment, it entered the power-related code writing stage, and some parts of the vehicle began to be in a power-off state. In this case, the taillight, emergency flasher, side air curtain, side air bag and body controller of the test vehicle can not work properly, and the software upgrade has not been completed at the moment of collision between the collision trolley and the collision vehicle, resulting in the situation that the side air curtain of the side airbag does not pop up, the door is locked and the emergency flasher is not lit in the collision.

Event Review:

On December 23rd, C-NCAP of China Automotive Center conducted a crash test on the third generation Harvard H6. During the collision, none of the side airbags and air curtains popped up, the emergency flasher was not on, and the four doors were in a "locked" state.

As Harvard H6 has an important position in the SUV market, the incident has attracted strong attention after it was exposed. In addition, after the end of the live broadcast of the collision test, the official website of the China Automobile Center C-NCAP unexpectedly showed that "the website is temporarily inaccessible, and the website has not been put on record in accordance with the relevant laws of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology."

On December 24, Great Wall Harvard issued a statement saying that the initial diagnosis was that the vehicle was in a power-off state at the time of the collision, in which the airbag-related components (including airbag control unit, collision sensor, etc.) and the body controller were not working, causing the above abnormalities.

On December 25, Great Wall Motor once again issued a statement welcoming qualified testing institutions across the country to randomly select the third-generation Harvard H6 collision in the market to verify product safety. At the same time, we will immediately announce the time of the collision and other information, welcome the media and users to monitor the whole process, and will conduct a global live broadcast of each collision test.

On December 31, the China Automobile Center and Great Wall held a joint briefing, and the relevant person in charge said that the Hover H6 collision anomaly was being upgraded by the vehicle in the course of the collision test, resulting in a power outage of some parts. as a result, the vehicle-related safety system is not working.

According to the data, the retail volume of the Harvard H6 was 54306 vehicles in November, up 32.2% from a year earlier. The cumulative retail volume from January to November was 309846 vehicles, down 4.3% from a year earlier, basically locking in the top spot on the annual SUV list.

As the highest-selling model of Great Wall, the status of the Harvard H6 is self-evident, which is why it attracted the attention of consumers and officials after the incident was exposed. Judging from the official response, the anomaly of the third-generation Harvard H6 in the collision is more of an "accident", but whether it can be recognized by consumers remains to be seen, after all, it is too "coincidental"!
