Chery’s TIGGO7 CSH Passes Rigorous Battery Scrape Test

On July 29, Chery's flagship SUV, the TIGGO7 CSH, successfully underwent a challenging battery scrape test, reinforcing its reputation for reliability and safety. The test, conducted in Mexico City, was not only a display of technical prowess but also marked a significant milestone in Chery's commitment to global safety validation.

Test Details

The obstacle used in the test was a spherical barrier standing 242 mm tall. The TIGGO7 CSH struck the barrier at a speed of 30 km/h, replicating real-world scenarios that could lead to battery damage. This kind of test could simulate the risk of vehicle battery exposure during accidents or road incidents, making the results crucial for consumer safety assurance.

Under the watchful eyes of industry experts, including Mr. Isac Mosqueda Montelongo, a notary public representative, the SUV displayed exceptional performance. Following the collision, only insignificant surface scratches were found on the battery casing, with no signs of electrolyte leakage, fire, or smoke, indicating the battery's considerable protection capabilities. Importantly, all high-voltage connectors remained functional, and the structural integrity of the battery pack was uncompromised, showcasing Chery’s advanced engineering and commitment to safety.

Innovative Battery Protection Technology

The TIGGO7 CSH is equipped with Chery's innovative “Guardian Battery” system, utilizing lithium iron phosphate technology that provides a stable chemical foundation for battery safety. This model features a 780MPa high-strength steel underbody armor designed to dissipate impact forces effectively. Along with a unique chainmail-inspired structural design, these features significantly minimize harm during impacts.

Equally important is the vehicle's millisecond-response high-voltage cutoff technology, which disconnects circuits within just 10 milliseconds. This rapid reaction is vital in mitigating short-circuit risks during severe impacts. Furthermore, the battery system has achieved an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, guaranteeing reliable performance even under challenging environments.

Global Expansion and Safety Commitment

The Mexico test is part of Chery's broader initiative to conduct global safety validation, which includes extreme testing conditions experienced in various countries. This extensive validation process incorporates diverse challenges such as extreme cold, heat, dryness, high humidity, and rough terrains. The Mexico battery scrape test followed a series of rigorous evaluations conducted in China, including a spiral rollover test and a dual-vehicle collision assessment.

Chery’s commitment to safety doesn’t stop at product testing. The company has taken significant steps to enhance its visibility on safety initiatives globally, prominently featuring its core safety philosophy,
