Rear crash test with an Audi Q8 e-tron

11/22/2023

„Our mission: to save even more lives around the world"

Plastic and metal are crushed. Fragments fly through the air. A cacophony of sounds – a brief creak, an ear-piercing screech and a dull thud – fills the huge hall, deafeningly loud, like a gunshot, just more intricate and muted. A moving barrier traveling at 80 kilometers per hour rams the rear end of the white Audi Q8 e-tron, shoving it forward several meters. Then: standstill and silence. What’s left is a vehicle with a demolished rear end that can teach us a lot.

*Experts consider “active safety” to be all elements in a vehicle that could help prevent an accident. For example: brake system, active emergency brake systems, chassis, tires, automobile light technologies and driver assist system like Audi pre sense. “Passive safety” involves elements that can reduce the risk of injury or eliminate it entirely. It includes seat belts, airbags, stable passenger compartments and energy-dissipating vehicle structures.
