AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Hybrid vehicles face damage to the fuel tank during rear-end collisions due to the incompressible zone protecting the rear electric motor, which can cause structural damage and weight penalties from reinforced tanks.

Method used

A protective device with a rigid arc-shaped structural element and a deformable section is fixed to the vehicle's underside, distributing impact forces and dissipating energy to protect the fuel tank.

Benefits of technology

The device effectively absorbs and distributes collision energy, preventing fuel tank damage while maintaining vehicle style and platform adaptability.
