On November 8, the 2022 China Automobile Safety Conference announced the selection list of China's top ten car bodies. Dongfeng Peugeot's new 408 won the "2022 China's Top Ten Car Bodies" and "Best Materials" awards in one fell swoop due to its high-quality performance in body materials, body technology, and body structure.
China's Top Ten Car Body Selection is currently the only car body appraisal with the highest domestic standards and authoritativeness for consumers. The judging team is led by academicians and is composed of top experts and professors at home and abroad. From the dimensions of materials, technology, structure, low carbon and other dimensions, it conducts comprehensive evaluations on the safety, comfort, energy saving and other standards that consumers pay attention to when buying cars. The models participating in the selection cover domestic and foreign mainstream brands.
The new 408 can win the two awards of "2022 China's Top Ten Car Body" and "Best Material" in one fell swoop, which is inseparable from Shenlong Automobile 's quality inheritance of "conscience car, safety car, and safe car".
Conscience car: high-strength steel accounts for more than 70% , double-sided galvanized metal materials account for more than 86%
Xiao Yiwu, a senior expert in the body of the Shenlong Company's Technical Quality Department, was invited to participate to explain the advanced technology and technology applied to the new 408 body-in-white to industry experts.
As a new French-style high-quality sedan, Dongfeng Peugeot New 408's body materials account for more than 70% of high-strength steel, and more than 86% of double-sided galvanized metal materials. A large number of key stress-bearing parts such as the front pillars, center pillars, and door anti-collision beams use up to 1500MPa ultra-high-strength hot-stamped steel plates. The front doors are equipped with front-impact anti-collision bars (roller forming), and the tensile strength reaches more than 1180MPa.
In terms of body technology, many structures of the new 408 body adopt integrated stamping molding process, which effectively improves the strength of the body and ensures driving safety; the new 408 uses laser welding, cold arc welding and other technologies to create a solid body structure, and has more than 4,000 high-strength and high-density welding points; nearly 9 meters of laser welds improve the appearance of the vehicle, and 33 new structural adhesive effectively strengthen the body, while also making the body better sealed and soundproofed.
safety car : cabin-type safety body structure, six horizontal and six vertical integrated reinforced floors
In terms of body structure, the new 408 adopts the cabin-type safety body structure, and uses a closed-loop reinforced structure to create a more stable body. In addition, the new 408 also adopts the six-horizontal and six-vertical integrated reinforced floor . Six reinforcing beams are designed for front collisions to disperse the impact energy rearward and sideways. Different from ordinary models, the new 408 is also designed with six reinforcing beams for side impacts, which ensures the safety of the occupants in side impacts to the greatest extent.
In terms of anti-corrosion protection, Dongfeng Peugeot’s new 408 body adopts dual protection of galvanized sheet + overall electrophoretic paint, which is higher than the anti-corrosion capability of electrophoretic paint of the same level in China.
Safe car: All-round green material design system ensures the safety of infant-level materials
In addition to excellent active and passive safety, Dongfeng Peugeot’s new 408 also pays attention to the health and safety of the cockpit. Not long ago, the new 408 passed the rigorous test of China Automotive Research and Development Corporation's Child First (Green Cockpit) certification, passing high scores in the three dimensions of "high-quality air in the car", "infant-grade materials" and " electromagnetic radiation safety", becoming the first 100,000-class family sedan to pass the Child First (green cockpit) certification.
Taking the cabin air as an example, all new 408 series are equipped with healthy and environmentally friendly acoustic absorbing sound insulation materials as standard, abandoning the use of waste fibers in traditional cars, and 11 types of sound insulation parts are all made of green and environmentally friendly materials. Not only that, the new 408 also uses a large amount of skin-friendly leather materials with low odor and low VOC characteristics, and gives priority to the use of environmentally friendly water-based glue and hot melt glue in the use of glue to control and reduce the use of solvent-based glue. When connecting parts, try to use clamping, welding and other processes to reduce the bonding process, eliminate the pollution of harmful substances from the source, and achieve healthy driving.
This time, the new 408 won the two awards of "2022 China's Top Ten Car Body" and "Best Material", which is not only the evaluator's authoritative affirmation of the new 408's comprehensive strength, but also fully demonstrates Dongfeng Peugeot 's deep understanding of customer needs. It objectively proves that the new 408 is not only technologically forward-looking, but also a good car with good conscience that truly meets the actual needs of users. In the future, Dongfeng Peugeot will continue to adhere to "customer-centric", implement health and safety with higher standards, and give back to users with better products, technologies and services.
