The images of the Chinese electric vehicle giant Nio's EC6 crashing at high speed into a 12-centimeter thick concrete barrier and splitting in half have made a significant impact on the world agenda. While the rear part of the vehicle was completely torn off, the company released a statement regarding the accident.
In Shanghai, a vehicle of the Chinese electric car manufacturer Nio's EC6 model split in half after crashing into a 12-centimeter thick concrete barrier at high speed. Despite the severity of the accident, it was announced that the condition of the two passengers in the vehicle is stable and poses no life-threatening risk. The police are continuing their investigation into how the accident occurred.
DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS WERE NOT ACTIVE
Nio stated that the in-vehicle system automatically reported the incident after the accident and that the company was informed immediately. It was noted that no driving assistance systems were active at the time of the collision. The company also emphasized that the door handles opened automatically after the impact and that no fire or thermal leakage was detected in the battery pack.
THE REAR SECTION OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DETACHED
The reason the accident attracted so much attention on social media is that the rear section of the vehicle completely detached. Experts stated that this situation resulted from the vehicle crashing into the concrete barrier, which concentrated the impact area at high speed.
PASSENGERS MANAGED TO GET OUT
According to initial reports, the passengers managed to exit the vehicle on their own after the accident. However, it was expressed that technical aspects such as the deformation in the cabin, the performance of the safety systems, and how the impact was distributed to the vehicle body have not yet been evaluated by independent experts.
