In the field of vehicle safety, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class meets the highest requirements. Thanks to the optimized body structure with large deformation zones, this car is the safest in the world.
Every year, more than 100 bodies must undergo rigorous crash tests. In this case, the main types of accidents are checked:
- 1. Off-set collisions (frontal) with oncoming traffic, in which 40% of the front of the car is involved in a collision. According to accident statistics, head-on collisions of this type are the most frequent.
- 2. Impact to the side.
- 3. An accident with a rollover of the vehicle.
- 4. Collision with a heavy obstacle (trees, street lights, trucks or buses).
