In recent years, many modern cars have been challenged to test deer, and some of them, including the Toyota Hilux, has gone to the brink of overturning! But have you ever wondered why this happens to new cars?
You must be aware that the moose test is designed to assess the handling and maneuverability of the car in sudden changes of direction, and as its name suggests, the unexpected presence of an animal such as a deer in front of the car is simulated. Therefore, the path of this test is helical and has a structure similar to the English letter S.
In some tests, the test is conducted with full occupants and a box full of equipment to simulate the worst-case scenario. In most of these tests, the cars are driven at a speed of 64 to 80 km / h and the occupants bear a lot of G force.
Success in deer testing depends on many factors, and the use of the latest technologies does not guarantee success. Weight distribution and transfer is one of the most important factors. For example, in the case of the Toyota Hilux, the suspension of this Japanese pickup is too soft and the weight is easily transferred from one side to the other. This also leads to excessive rocking in the turns and sudden changes of direction.
Toyota RAV4 and Jeep Grand Cherokee also suffer from a similar problem, especially the American long chassis, which burst in the deer tire test due to severe lateral pressure! But in the case of a model like the Porsche Makan, excessive interference from electronic systems prevents a better record.
The weight distribution factor is also more prominent in the Volkswagen Passat GTE and Ashkoda Superb. In these two cars, the batteries installed in the rear disturb the balance. If you follow the results of the deer test, you will know that the Bmw M4 Competition also failed to record an acceptable record in this test. This German model is designed to be easy to drift, so the rear deviates easily, which derails the deer test spiral at high speeds.
In addition to the cases mentioned above, km77, as one of the authorities conducting the deer test, recently announced that the asphalt surface has changed its route and its adhesion rate is at a lower level than the previous route.
