Homologation checks of the exterior of a passenger car
Knowing the type-approval regulations for the bumper, hood, tailgate, doors and other exterior parts of the car, and applying them correctly from the earliest stages of development, is critical to the future commercialization of the vehicle.
The greater the number of markets in which the automaker intends to sell the car (EU, NAR, CHINA...), the more arduous becomes the task of checking and searching for appropriate solutions, which are always possible, however.
Homologation verification is an essential step in defining and increasing the level of safety.
The main rules to be taken into account during the outer perimeter verification phase concern collisions, whether with solid elements (other cars, parking bollards, various types of obstacles...) or with the pedestrian. Thus, type-approval verification is an essential step in defining and increasing the level of safety for passengers and any other people involved in a collision.
Another issue of considerable importance related to homologation concerns the definition of the car's style, so knowing how to read and interpret these standards during the external design verification phase allows for the identification of potential risk situations, which can be remedied by the experience of a Design Team that is able to propose solutions to overcome the assessment, but without distorting the original stylistic idea.
As the MGE technicians who work in this field on a daily basis will be able to confirm to you,an optimal result is therefore achieved through a constructive dialogue involving the technical body in close synergy with the other departments involved, first and foremost the homologation body, which is always invaluable in providing the correct interpretation of borderline cases, and the style department, which is interested in safeguarding the aesthetic paradigm of the car as much as possible.
