European Transport Prize for Sustainability 2018

CTS congratulates HS-Schoch, who won the European Transport Prize for Sustainability 2018 for the SL 3000 underride guard. In the category of Parts and Accessories, the 6-member jury selected the underride guard, which was subjected to many validation tests on the crash test facility. The system, which was presented for the first time at the last IAA, is resilient to collision speeds of up to 64 km/h. This means that at this impact speed there is virtually no intrusion into the passenger compartment and therefore fatal injuries of passenger car occupants are not expected.

EDR-Seminar of the police

Around 30 policemen and policewomen visited the crash test centre for training purposes on using the EDR-interface. The Event Data Recorder is obligatory for vehicles built since 2014 and provides police and accident analysts with valuable data after a crash. Focus of the seminar directed by Dr. Weyde were two live crash tests, which directly provided the participants the opportunity to try out and test the EDR-interface.

Underride protection from HS-Schoch

The underride guard SL3000 from the company HS-Schoch was once again subjected to a validation test. At the crash test facility it was proven yet again how successful this underride guard is. The system was introduced for the first time at the last IAA and can withstand collision speeds of up to 64 km/h. This means that, at such impact speed, fatal injuries of passenger car occupants aren’t expected, since there is virtually no intrusion into the cars passenger compartment. Launch of sales for the underride guard SL3000 is planned for summer 2018. Details for this underride guard including a crash test video can be found on the homepage of HS-Schoch.
