Safety
Safety and reliability are crucial factors for any car manufacturer. Think believes that electric cars should have the same level of safety and comfort as any conventional vehicle.
Safe and reliable
The key to a safe car is a structure with a good crash performance. The backbone of the TH!NK city is a strong lower frame made of high tensile steel. This frame carries all the suspension and crash loads and is designed with a stiff passenger compartment and deformable zones in the front and rear.
An extruded aluminium space frame is mounted to the lower frame. The thermoplastic body panels and all other components are attached to the frame. The material used for the dash board, knee bolster and the door panel trim is expanded polypropylene (PP). The density of this material has been carefully selected to provide maximum safety for the passenger.
The interior safety system consists of state-of-the-art seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters. The car is equipped with dual airbags.
Numerous computer simulations and full-size crash tests have been done to optimise the crash performance. TH!NK city is homologated for European markets.
