Crashbar - safety first

Challenge

Initial situation:

The body of a small vehicle is often subject to costly repairs due to accidents.

Objective: 
In order to avoid recurring and expensive repairs to the body, a protective structure is to be created.

Method

  • Analysis of the course of the accident and its effects
  • Installation space analysis/connection structure
  • Concept development of various crash bar systems
  • Simulation of load case rear and front crash
  • Optimization loop
  • Design of production-ready components
  • Supplier inquiry and production coordination

Result

  • Mature functioning crashbar system developed for implementation
  • Coordination with production/suppliers
