A week later, the American Highway Safety Association officially announced that starting from the second quarter, the IIHS will adjust the crash test standards for new cars, and the specific adjustments are:

The original frontal 100% overlap rigid barrier crash test has been adjusted from 50 km/h to 56 km/h, and the two-sided frontal 40% overlap variable barrier crash test test has been added at a test speed of 60 km/h.

According to the introduction of the IIHS spokesperson, the reason why the IIHS added a two-sided frontal 40% crash test this time is because according to the analysis of more than 200,000 traffic accidents in the past 20 years by IIHS2, when the vehicle is in a car accident, there is a probability of more than 70%, the driver will instinctively slow down at the moment before the accident, and at the same time hit the steering wheel to avoid danger, in the case, the collision area of the vehicle in the event of a collision has a probability of more than 60% is 40% of the front square of the car The purpose of the IIHS's new two-sided frontal 40% crash test is to test the safety of the vehicle in the event of such a collision.

As soon as this news came out, Ford Motors, AMC Motors, General Motors, and Chrysler Motors, which had been prepared for a long time, of course welcomed them as usual, believing that this initiative of the IIHS would be of great help in promoting the development of the automobile industry and improving the safety of automobiles.

But Japanese cars suddenly sat on wax.

In terms of car safety, the Japanese brand has always adhered to the "60 minutes long live!", although the cars sold in the American market have been targeted to improve and local reinforcement, but it is only barely able to pass the 50 km per hour test standard, and now the IIHS will increase the test speed from the previous 50 km per hour to 56 km per h, and also added a frontal bilateral 40% paranoid crash test, which is terrible, what to do?

No way!

For Japanese cars, the sales of the American market have accounted for more and more of their global sales, especially the three giants of Honda, Toyota and Nissan, the sales of the American market have accounted for more than 35% of their global sales, in any case, they can not give up the American market, since they can not give up the American market, and there is no time to develop a new generation of models, then the only way at the moment is to quickly find a way to strengthen the safety of the car.

At this time, AMC Automobile took the initiative to apply to IIHS, asking IIHS to test a number of AMC's cars in advance.

As soon as the news came out, the whole United States was in an uproar: Is Fernandez Chen so confident in the quality and safety of AMC cars?

For the IIHS, such a good hot spot, if you don't catch it quickly, it would be too sorry for themselves, they immediately responded, saying that since Mr. Fernandez is so confident in his products, the IIHS will immediately purchase a batch of AMC cars on the market to test them with new crash standards.

As soon as the IIHS responded to it, sales of AMC cars in the U.S. market suddenly increased.

The common people are not stupid, in the case of the IIHS put forward more stringent test standards, AMC cars even dare to take the initiative to test in advance, what does this mean? This shows that AMC is really not generally confident in the quality of their products, AMC in the United States among the four major car brands have been considered fuel-efficient and reliable quality, and now they themselves are so confident in the safety of the car, so what else is there to say?

Buy!

It was also at this time that the national auto parts industry, led by Lille, made its voice heard.

They said that the share of Japanese cars in the U.S. market is getting higher and higher, and now the share of the U.S. market has reached 30%, but the proportion of auto parts purchased by Japanese cars from the U.S. market is less than 10%, which means that Japanese automakers have not given enough returns to the United States while encroaching on the jobs of American workers.

The U.S. auto parts industry appealed through the National Auto Parts Association: Ask the government to draw a line for the Japanese auto industry in the form of an executive order, how many cars they sell in the U.S. market, they must purchase a corresponding proportion of auto parts, and the United States must increase the corresponding employment opportunities, instead of making money in the United States while squeezing American jobs.

For Americans, the issue of work is undoubtedly an extremely sensitive issue, if it were not for the national auto parts industry in the United States, Americans would not know that the share of Japanese cars in the American market has reached such a high level, and they did not expect that the localization of Japanese cars in the United States is so low, and the United States suddenly boiled.
