"China Light Truck First Hit" Successfully Perfected

At 2:00 pm on February 28th, in the collision test room of the China Automotive Technology and Research Center in Tianjin, a short-nose light truck—distinct from traditional flat-nose models—was driven toward a target at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour. The vehicle collided with the barrier, causing the front to crumple and debris to scatter. Yet, remarkably, the cab's windshield remained intact, the doors were undamaged, and the crash dummy inside was unharmed. A crowd gathered around the test, drawn by the spectacle and the significance of the moment. The star of the event was Nanjing Iveco’s upcoming new product—the Europa short-nose light truck, designed for the European market. As General Manager Zhang Xin and Rana’s Vice Chairman opened the cab door together, the scene erupted in applause and cheers. This marked the successful completion of China’s first frontal crash test for light trucks—a historic milestone. According to Mr. Liu, director of the collision testing laboratory at the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, this test was groundbreaking. “This is not only the first frontal crash test for light-duty trucks in China, but it also sets a new benchmark,” he explained. “With no existing domestic regulations for light truck collisions, the test followed the standards of the ‘Customer Protection for Frontal Collision of Passenger Cars,’ which are even more rigorous than those for trucks. This truly marks the ‘First Crash of China’s Light Trucks.’” From the现场 observation, Director Liu shared the results with the media. “In terms of qualitative indicators, the cab door didn’t open before the impact. After the crash, the short-nose structure effectively absorbed the energy, and the door could be opened smoothly without tools. The fuel tank remained intact, the driver’s seat belt anchor points were secure, and the dummy showed no injuries to the head, chest, or legs. This proves that the vehicle fully meets safety standards. The front crash test of the short-nose light truck was a complete success.” At the press conference following the test, General Manager Zhang Xin expressed his excitement. “The successful completion of China’s first frontal crash test just before the launch of the Europa model not only proves that the Europa 5A safety design fully meets national standards, but it also makes it the safest light truck currently available in China. We hope this test will raise greater awareness about the importance of safety in light trucks. Through the Europa product, we aim to redefine high-end, safe light trucks in the domestic market and offer logistics users a new, reliable choice.” According to the reporter’s understanding, as an industry leader and a globally competitive automaker, Nanjing Iveco has always prioritized building a safe and harmonious transportation system. The Europa series, as the first cross-line product introduced by the company, inherits the European “people-centered” design philosophy and places safety as its top priority. It is the only domestic model that matches European technology in high-end segments. This confidence allowed Nanjing Iveco to conduct such a rigorous test just before the Europa’s launch. The success of this test clearly demonstrates that the Europa light truck offers world-class safety and quality, making it one of the most secure options in the Chinese market. Finally, General Manager Zhang Xin stated that after completing the “China Light Truck First Crash,” following the Turin V passenger series, Nanjing Iveco has once again launched another “world car” that aligns with international development. He believes that the Europa will play a significant role in shaping a new era of logistics and transportation focused on safety and efficiency.
