Insurers Accident Research (UDV) http://www.udv.de: Sport (SUV) in the accident unobtrusive - but collisions with heavier weight and design - Improved crash compatibility and automatic braking systems necessary

A new category of vehicles captured for more than ten years Germany's roads: Sporty SUV, called Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs). With rising approval numbers and their involvement in accidents is increasing. For this reason, the Insurers Accident Research has scrutinized (UDV) in a study of SUVs and their drivers and specific risks disclosed in crash tests.

While the SUV drivers largely clear can be given - they do not differ from other drivers - there are usually at the "long-legged" vehicles, but large differences in potential danger, even if it is not frequently SUV comes with a serious accident. as with other cars, so the direct consequences, for example, a page Anpralls especially large SUV on the other party are far more severe. This is also the last Crash Test within a range of side impact tests against a compact car. During the side impact with the front of a similar car or small SUV only mild or moderate injuries ¬ tions of the victim are expected to "hurt" a great SUV at 40 km / h crash the dummy significantly heavier.

Siegfried Brockmann, Head of Insurers Accident Research (UDV): "SUV drivers are not the problem, rather have some SUVs."

Your body structure must be aligned from the car to compensate for height differences. In addition, automatic emergency braking systems should be mandatory. "If the great mass of an SUV is braked in time," said Brockmann, "are the consequences not so serious."

For the study, "Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) in the accident" involving personal injury accidents were analyzed and compared with that of SUV accident situation "normal" cars by means of a special query to the Federal Statistical Office. In addition, with the help of the accident database of the UDV-road vehicle accidents were investigated in great detail. In a third step, the transport behavior of SUV drivers was considered. These data from the study "Air Transport 2010" UDV, as well as data from the Federal Motor Transport Authority and a customer survey findings were used from this.:

• In the global analysis of SUV accidents is hardly different compared to all car accidents involving personal injury.

• Nor is there a "special misconduct" of SUV drivers.

• The well-known from the typical passenger risk group of young drivers is under-represented in SUV.

• Collisions between cars and SUVs, passenger car occupants to have a significantly higher risk to be injured or even killed, especially if the SUV is large and / or has a lead frame.

• SUV owners are often self-employed or senior executives and travel every year 30 percent more than average car driver.

• SUV drivers feel safer on the road, appreciate their own driving style a little more relaxed, but also a little less correctly.

Conclusion:

• SUV drivers as a group are not worse drivers

• SUV accidents are generally not noticeable.

• In case of accidents between cars and SUVs, the consequences for the car drivers are usually much larger

• In the future SUV to be equipped with advanced emergency braking systems.

• The crash of SUV compatibility needs to be improved.
