Go behind the scenes on the making of the smart car commercial about the
strength of the tridion safety cell. Witness how smart's tridion cell can
easily carry a full-size SUV with absolutely no problem.
]
One of the key selling points of the Smart Fortwo is its ultra-durable
tridion safety cell. Basically, the feature has been patented by Daimler’s
Smart division to offer maximum protection to the electric vehicle’s
occupants, which comes in addition to the safety functions provided by the
car’s seatbelts and airbags.
According to the Smart website, the tridion safety cell is inspired by
roll
cages found in racecars. It is made of high-strength steel, which is
engineered to evenly distribute the force from a crash.
To demonstrate how the safety frame of the Smart Fortwo can hold up to a
real-life collision on the road, Daimler recently released several videos
that involve crashing the small car to much bigger cars like the
Mercedes-Benz S-Class and C-Class sedan.
Below is a video displaying the result of the Smart Fortwo versus
Mercedes-Benz S-Class collision test:
In comparison, the Fortwo is barely half the size of the S-Class sedan,
making the match a David versus Goliath type of contest. However, the
smaller vehicle surprisingly held up against its Mercedes big brother in a
50 km/h head-to-head crash. The result was nothing short of impressive
because the two cars, despite their totally wrecked hoods, were able to
protect their respective occupants. This is a proof of Daimler’s
consistency
in providing safety to its customers regardless if its buyers have chosen
its luxury vehicles or its smart cars.
[Watch] another video pitting the Fortwo against the C-Class in a 64 km/h
collision, which produced the same result:
Lastly, [watch the video of] an old advertisement showing how the roof of
the Smart Fortwo can hold 7,000 pounds of weight:
