Everyone has his own set of standards for buying a car. When buying a car, people may be concerned about the brand, value and safety configuration of the vehicle. Unlike cars, trucks are tools to make money, and users may pay more attention to the price, fuel consumption and service of vehicles. But after statistics, almost 90% of the respondents put safety first when buying trucks, which is still very touching. As the netizen "Niu" said: "I pay great attention to safety when buying a car, and safety should be ranked first. For trucks, although it is a tool to make money, in the long run, the loss of maintenance and shutdown caused by a small and medium-sized accident is comparable to the money saved by careful fuel saving for several months. If casualties are caused, the losses caused cannot be measured by money. "
Of course, the remaining 10% netizens don't care about security, but have their own opinions. Netizen "boiled ice" ranked safety in the third place. He explained: "No matter how safe the car is, people will drive it. People who don't pay attention to safety awareness are safer cars. I give more priority to reliability and economy (fuel consumption and cost performance) than safety. This is not ignoring safety. Without security, there is nothing. Safety mainly depends on people. "
Netizen "Zhang Xihai" also expressed a similar view: "Although the active and passive safety measures of vehicles are very important, personally, the driver's concept of safe driving and awareness of obeying traffic laws are far more important than hardware. We can't give our safety and life to the hardware of the vehicle. After all, the human factor is the main factor. With the same vehicle configuration, some people can drive hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers safely. At the scene of vehicle traffic accidents, both passenger cars and commercial vehicles have large and small brands, similar to everyone taking a bath in the bathhouse, without seniority. Although there is no doubt about the idea and concept of safety first, most car owners and enterprises rank reliability, power and economy in the forefront in the process of vehicle purchase. "
There is no doubt that cars are controlled by people. But it is unrealistic to make everyone an "old driver" and it takes a long time to accumulate experience. Therefore, in order to improve the safety of vehicles quickly and widely, automobile companies have developed many safety devices. These security configurations are divided into two types, one is active security system and the other is passive security system. At present, the common active safety systems are ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), ASR (Driving Acceleration and Slip Adjustment), EBL (Electronic Brake Force Distribution), HSA (Ramp Start Assist System), EBS (Electronic Brake System), ESC (Electronic Stability Control System), LWDS (Lane Departure Warning System), TPMS (Tire Pressure Detection System) and so on. Passive safety systems are familiar devices, such as seat belts, collision beams, airbags and headrests. With the continuous development of science and technology, the active and passive safety systems of automobiles are also increasing and improving.
For active security configuration, most people think that it is better than nothing. Netizen "Wild Blue and Fat" replied: "Electronic equipment is very important. Many people will say that there was no configuration before, and it has been open for decades. I just want to say that driving safely for decades is from the perspective of a single driver, and these devices are used to save cars at critical moments. With electronic equipment, the overall accident rate and mortality rate have been reduced. The driver factor is the most important, but the safety configuration is also very important. "
Netizen "H" said: "The active safety and passive safety of automobiles are the performances of avoiding traffic accidents and reducing injuries caused by traffic accidents respectively. Now many configurations have been incorporated into relevant laws and regulations. In recent years, the active safety system of trucks has been greatly improved, and all kinds of trucks are required to install ABS, and ABS+EBD has gradually become the standard. Although the research and development cost of more advanced ESC is higher, it has been gradually popularized in some products in recent years. It is necessary to strengthen the configuration of active safety system and add new technologies, but it is also a step-by-step process. Active and passive safety systems and civilized driving of drivers are powerful guarantees for safe travel. "
However, some netizens believe that the more proactive the security configuration, the better. Why do they think so? Let's see what they say. Netizen "orziyao" replied: "With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, more and more safety devices are installed on trucks, which is undoubtedly the greatest safety guarantee for drivers. In my opinion, the safety of the car is at the beginning of the vehicle design of the main engine factory. Based on the drivers and passengers, combined with the daily use scenarios and working conditions of vehicles, it is most important to develop safety configuration and protect the safety of drivers and passengers. Often every detail can reflect the importance that car companies attach to safety. For the short distance similar to the muck truck, the stiffness and strength design of the cab should be strengthened; Long-distance logistics vehicles are suitable for installing lane keeping, adaptive cruise, seat belt collision pre-tightening, vehicle deviation warning, automatic car following system, etc. It is quite necessary to reduce the labor intensity of drivers and increase the configuration of driving safety. "
Netizen "New Journey" also said: "Active security configuration is very good, so it would be better if it could be cheaper. Due to the current manufacturing cost, these configurations are often only available in the highest-equipped models, and the price is also high. Therefore, a safe car should be equipped with ABS and EBS as standard, and other safety configurations should be configured according to different working conditions of the vehicle. Some advanced configurations of large-load short-distance dump trucks can be saved, but turning reminders, night lighting and blind spot monitoring can be standard; Adaptive driving should be installed in long-distance standard-loaded fleets; Vehicles running in Yunguichuan must be equipped with hydraulic retarder; Vehicles transporting dangerous chemicals should be equipped with disc brakes as standard. This is a reasonable price. After all, buying a car is used to make money, and ordinary retail investors can't afford too high a cost. "
When it comes to passive safety systems, people in the truck field are most concerned about the cab. Netizen "Niu" replied: "The strength of the cab is still the most important, which is the last barrier to protect members." Netizen "Wu Yongran" expressed the same view: "The materials and thickness used in the cab are the most critical, such as columns and doors. Its power is very important. Sometimes a millimeter can affect the driver's life safety. "
Generally speaking, truck drivers and other road participants are very concerned about the safety of vehicles. The dazzling security configuration has also changed from initial wait-and-see suspicion to firm support. And what is the safety of domestic trucks? Is it necessary for a third party to conduct public testing under a unified standard? Continue to share the views of netizens tomorrow, so stay tuned.
