Nissan enhances safety assessment for Ariya with over 400 tests

Nissan has enhanced safety testing for its flagship EV the Ariya.

A highly trained team of engineers puts the all-electric crossover through hundreds of extensive tests including frontal-side- and rear-impact collisions, as well as those that simulate accidents when pedestrians are on the road, the company said. All need timing as little as 1/1000th of a second to ensure the vehicle meets the stringent standards the brand has set for itself, it said.

“More than 100 data points are evaluated on the Ariya,” said Gen Tanabe of the Passive Safety Evaluation Group. “Because the upcoming Ariya will be sold in many markets, we will conduct more than 400 tests from the early stages of development to market Launch.”

Results reveal that the Ariya’s body and unique cabin structure make it possible to absorb a variety of impacts offering superior protection for drivers and passengers, the company said. Engineers from Nissan’s Passive Safety Evaluation Group measure the force of potential impact on the vehicle’s body and structural components, as well as its effects on the driver and passengers via test dummies of various sizes and body types equipped with multiple sensors that record simulated injury levels to vital areas of the body.

Leveraging Nissan’s extensive know-how in electric mobility from over the past decade, many of the testing procedures employed for the Nissan LEAF have been adapted for the Ariya, allowing the company to set its own safety standards – often more comprehensive than those required by regulators, the company said. For example, because the Ariya’s EV battery pack is high voltage, the safety engineers needed to ensure it retained its structural integrity in the case of a crash without the electrodes leaking, it said.

The overall goal is to prevent collisions where possible and, in case of unavoidable collisions, mitigate damage and injuries, the company said.

In November 2021, the company unveiled Nissan Ambition 2030, its long-term vision for empowering mobility and beyond for a cleaner, safer and more inclusive world. Ensuring each vehicle, including the Ariya, Nissan’s all-electric crossover is subject to rigorous crash testing to meet the highest safety standards in the event of a collision is vital to achieving this goal.
