3月23日下午,成都三環路桂溪立交路段上演驚險一幕。一輛蔚來 ES6 失控撞擊護欄後沖入對向車道,與正常行駛的零跑 C11 及另一車輛發生劇烈碰撞。事故導致三車受損、五人受傷,其中蔚來 ES6 車頭迅速起火,數分鐘內火勢蔓延至全車,而零跑 C11 雖未起火,但很多網友認為隱藏式門把手未彈出引發爭議。
After the accident, two car companies, NIO and Leapmotor, also spoke out at the first time, further confirming the authenticity of the accident.
In addition to narrating the accident, Weilai focused on explaining that after the accident, the doors of the NIO vehicles involved were automatically unlocked, the door handles automatically popped open, and the passive safety components such as seat belt pretensioners and airbags were triggered, the A-pillar and B-pillar did not collapse, and the interior space was not significantly deformed and squeezed, and the cause of the accident is still under investigation by the police.
Fortunately, NIO's passive safety devices have not failed, and the doors can also pop out and open, allowing the occupants to quickly escape from the vehicle, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
However, netizens are more concerned about the fire after the collision of NIO, why can't new energy avoid the collision and fire? Since NIO's vehicle caught fire after the collision, it should face up to the severity of the problem, so as to further optimize the product and improve the safety of the vehicle.
Leapmotor also issued the "Explanation on the Chengdu Vehicle Collision Accident" on 24/0, focusing on the fact that after the accident, the Leapmotor vehicle did not smoke or catch fire, and the doors were unlocked normally and could be opened smoothly.
However, some careful netizens found from the pictures on the scene that after the NIO ES11 hit the Leap C0, there was no big problem with the AB pillar of the former vehicle, but the latter was obviously deformed The A pillar had been deformed, but the official Leapmotor did not clearly state, and NIO described the damage to the vehicle in great detail.
In addition, it is said in the description of Leapmotor that the door is unlocked normally, but the door lock of Leapmotor C6 in the picture does not pop up, therefore, many netizens speculate that the door of the accident vehicle cannot be unlocked, and the door lock of NIO ES0 in the picture is popped open, and the two cars form a clear contrast.
After the accident, the Chengdu public security also issued a "police report" as soon as possible, preliminarily ruling out the suspicion of drunk driving and drug driving, and the accident is being investigated and handled.
The traffic accident between NIO ES11 and Leap C0 once again triggered a big discussion on the safety of new energy vehicles, new energy vehicles not only have the risk of spontaneous combustion, but also the risk of fire after the collision, which needs to be highly valued by netizens and new energy vehicle owners, and also sounded the alarm for all new energy vehicle companies to build cars safely, especially the safety of batteries.
