FULLWIDTH Frontal Deformable Barrier (FWDB)

EuroNCAP - 2026

Share:

The external dimensions of the barrier are illustrated in Figure 1. The deformable element is formed from two layers of aluminium honeycomb, with an overall depth of 300mm, a height of 1000mm and a width of 2000mm.

The first (front) layer of the deformable element has a crush strength of 0.342MPa and is 150mm deep, the second (rear) layer has a crush strength of 1.711MPa and is 150mm deep. The two layers are joined with a muslin interlayer and there is to be no cladding on any faces other than the mounting face. The mounting face is the rear face of the 1.711MPa layer. The mounting face is to be clad with a 0.5mm aluminium sheet which protrudes a set distance of 40mm from the upper and lower faces of the barrier to provide mounting flanges for attachment to the load cell wall.
