Trafikverket crash test with Chalmers new truck front (VIDEO)
Caption
The new Chalmers truck front was tested by The Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, at the Autoliv test track in Vårgårda, in a set of unique tests. The tests showed measurable results and clearly highlighted that the new truck front made a big difference. The crash tests show that better truck designs can reduce passenger car compartment deformations by 30-60 percent, which reduces the risk of injury for the car occupants.
