Passenger car factory compulsory assembly safety hammer passenger car is not equipped

A few days ago, due to the heavy rain in Beijing that caused a car owner to smash a dead car, the public opinion of the Internet continued to discuss the details, and frequently referred to a keyword “safety hammer”. This leads to a question as to whether the vehicle comes with a safety hammer and other escape tools when it leaves the factory.

In the entire automotive industry, determined by the nature of the industry, passenger cars are equipped with escape tools such as safety hammers at the time of leaving the factory. They have been labelled as "mandatory." The "Classification and Assessment of the Types of Operating Passenger Cars" clearly requires that the vehicle be equipped with a large-capacity fire extinguisher. No less than 4 safety hammers, or they will not be registered and issued with inspection mark.

Passenger car escape means a variety of parts of the car company to develop new escape system It is understood that in recent years the operation of bus accidents continue to occur, escape tools are not limited to the safety hammer. The reporter once saw an escape system on the school bus produced by Zhongtong Bus. The principle of the escape system is very similar to the American hammer ResQME, which is currently hotly debated by Weibo. "This is the 'one-click window escape system', which has been used since January 2012." The relevant person in charge of the Zhongtong Bus introduced that "a key window escape system" is designed for passenger cars and school buses under the emergency conditions of the passenger compartment. Forced crushing of side window glass or escape glass to provide a quick escape exit for passenger cabin personnel. The utility model belongs to an automatic glass breaking tool installed on a side window frame in a passenger cabin or a glass frame of an emergency escape door, and has a certain earthquake-resistant capability and a safe emergency escape device suitable for use in a bad working environment. ”

The relevant person in charge also stated that the system is used in emergencies or emergency situations in the vehicle. When the passengers need to escape from the cabin immediately, the driver or caretaker must start the emergency escape device to activate the switch, and automatically break the escape. The glass of the mouth, or the escape fighter, unplug the safety escaping from the emergency evacuation device, and manually slam the escape device to break the glass, so that the passengers are in the exit space where they can escape immediately and fight for valuable time for safe escape. "When this system is used in conjunction with a fire alarm system, it can automatically start in the passenger compartment when it catches fire and instantly breaks the escape glass."

Passenger cars are not mandatory in the allocation of safety hammers However, in addition to the passenger car industry, it seems that other vehicle manufacturers do not have safety hammers and other escape tools when they leave the factory, especially in the field of passenger vehicles.

A few days ago, a reporter from the China New Network surveyed some car owners immediately. “If there is no '7.21 incident', it will not notice whether Carlian is equipped with a safety hammer.” Mr. Hong, Mazda 6 vehicle owner who just bought the vehicle for three months, said that In the trunk or in the car, no configuration safety hammer was seen.

Another Mr. Chen, who is driving the Chevrolet Cruze, also said that since the car was purchased, the safety hammer and other related accessories have never been found. In this survey, including the Dongfeng Peugeot, Honda Accord, Honda Civic, BMW 5 Series and other models, the return is basically the same.

The reason for this is that some auto companies have told Xinhua.com that safety hammers and other escape tools are not within the scope of vehicle sales.
