Mercedes-Benz crash tests in the 1970s
Рет қаралды 70,502
Күн бұрынIn the early 1970s, just as part of the ESV programme (Experimental Safety Vehicles), Mercedes-Benz built more than 30 test vehicles to research into future automobile safety systems. It is with these ESFs that the brand reflects its many years of systematic activities for the development of vehicle safety. They prepare the way for numerous innovations, some of which are only ready for series production years later. They include ABS, belt tensioners and belt force limiters, airbags, pedestrian protection measures and side impact protection.

That was the era that companies still inovated and came with their own solutions and didnt only copy one another...

It seems like back then car mfrs and consumers didn’t care much about safety besides Mercedes and Volvo. After my mom got into a car accident in her Camry she insisted we get a Volvo and Mercedes.

It held up damn well considering the speed. And it wasn't a standard S class - it was bullet proof, and these cars are damn heavy, around 7000 to 8000 pounds or 3-4 tons. Additional energy that has to be absorbed. Anyway, Diana would be alive today if she was wearing her seat belt.

Most 90s cars would have been completely toast after an accident like that, the passengers too. The W140 was maybe the safest vehicle available back then.
