Same happened with a Chinese Sedan (Brilliance) and a SUV (Landwind). They basically folded up at relatively slow crash speeds.
The result for the sedan was possibly critical injuries to the driver at collisions speeds around 55km/h, not any better on the SUV. Both cars more or less broke apart in the middle, the main structural elements bend up and down, the steering wheel rammed into the driver.
That is the good news for the automibile industry in the rest of the world, the bad news is that the Chinese are capable of copying features...
Have you ever had an original thought? You have made an enemy, so unless you wish to apologise for your insult made elsewhere, I will be utterly merciless. Believe it.
The 'Chinese' calculate mortality in the equation regarding benefits to society. Move the masses- a few die. Oh, wait; move the masses, and Chinese die. n[see the US trans-continental railroad burial grounds now desicrated from neglect] Society moves forward regardless, and as we evolve during the next 100 yearss I predict a disproportionate race-to-population casualty.
That's nothing Chinese - it's a VW Vanagon crew cab from the 1980s.
Pretty scary - huh?
I own a '78 VW Camper van and while there is not as much hard structure above the bumper, there is plenty supporting the bumper. Hopefully any crash will be a bumper vs bumper crash. There is a crash picture of a Volvo vs a Vanagon and the Vanagon slaughters the Volvo.
If you are driving a Vanagon watch out for walls and aim for the Volvos.
I figure that either the truck was hauling ALOT of weight like one of the comment mentioned or the truck was really flying. NONE of the pickups - domestic or import are really a nice thing to see crash while carrying a big load. I saw a Dodge which was carrying a forklift battery have to do a panic stop. Driver did not tie the battery down well and it was in the front seat with him when it was all over. Note there was no collision - just a pickup panic stopping...
