   Right Movable object hits immovable object, compresses... thanks for that. And why wasnt it able to sell itself in Europe? I hear you can sell anything in Europe.

   64 km/h, no way, what the fuck is it made of, paper? Seriously if the metal crumples that easily I'm surprised it can even reach that speed without falling apart. I wouldn't expect the passengers seats to be included as crumple zone even if was 150km/h.

   The truck did the job for them, it kept the cargo safe and helped control population!

   i wish we could see other examples of a crash test as a reference. but regardless, i get the feeling this thing crumpled up quicker than typical...

   and so that was the end of the "Tin foil Truck".
10. paulbrown49
    wow news paper would stand more, unless this is a cunning plot to thin the population!

    The entire cab is not supposed to collapse in on itself during a 40 mile per hour accident. I was in a front in collision in a honda accord going 40 miles per hour and I walked away without a scratch or a bruise. If I was in this truck I would have died. I have seen pictures of high speed accidents where the cab doesn't collapse nearly as much as this truck did. Maybe in China the cargo is the most important part and this truck was designed so that the cab absorbed all the energy and the cargo is fine =).

    a small offtopic: chinese car and trucks (like most of everything else) are not really chinese. it is of american or european design but made in china. my friend was there recently and he was amazed by the number of essentially japanese cars with chinese logo on them. he even saw his bmw there. it was also called by some chinese name . in china know-how usually lasts 1-2 years. that is if you come there to manufacture something (say electronics) and build a plant it works fine for 2 years. then you see a new plant across the road from yours that starts to produce EXACTLY the same thing as yours not paying you a cent. intellectual property rights are simply nonexistent there. sorry for the offtopic. p.s. they flew to space recently. for that purpose they copied russian soyuz spacecraft

    I was waiting for it to explode. What the fuck was it made out of? Aluminum foil?

I am not saying they aren't as smart as us, they do a lot of things better than the west. But innovation hasn't been their strong point up to this point in history. I think it may be the collective mentality versus the individualistic mentality.

Copy european and american products and sell them on cheaper than the competition. That's why they are growing so fast (partially).

    It's perfectly safe in China, where everybody else is driving one of those. If two crash into each other, the vehicles just disintigrate and the biggest chance of injury comes from the two drivers bodies colliding with each other.
20. mrBaliw
    Yeaaah... I think I'll just drive that thing on reverse if that were the only vehicle left to use in the world
21. Naysayer
    it still holds up rather well when plowing through the millions of bicyclists in that country

    A good way to control China's population is give them all cars. Half of them will be dead in no time. If we could only get them off of our streets.

A back yard tinker could probably develop something only to have it stolen by some mega manufacturer, I imagine. That would certainly destroy my drive to invent anything. Of course, I could be wrong.

    The most dangerous thing in that scene was all the lead, from the paint , that was emitted into the air after the vehicle was pulverized!!! Oh yeah, good luck trying to find unleaded gasoline in China
25. brownbearclan
    It probably has about the same crash rating as a fully loaded Volkswagon bus.

    I'm gonna order me one of those then give it as a presnet to my ex.

What makes it even harder, is after you spend ten to twenty thousand dollars on a patent, and a large corporation implements it in their line of products, you still have to spend tens of thousands of dollars in court: the patent does not protect the small guy/gal, and you have to prove it was your original idea…again.

    The car is a german VW T3 and not a chinese car. The speed was about 120 km/h and not 64 km/h.
31. rubicks
    remember the moskvitch car and cossack motor cycle from Russia?same thing crap copies of German designs (concordski also springs to mind)The Japanese also messed up early on in their industrial revolution, now look at them
32. Guest
    its not truth. Its an old picture from a chrashtest with an OVERLOADED german VW with more then 120 km/h, not 64. In this situation, every car will look like this. Someones find this old stuff, and wrote some shit in the beginning in the end. thats all, sorry.
33. Guest
    sorry, but there is someting wrong. i drove lot`s of vw "doka" like these. had also some accidents with it. it's like a tank. nearly undestroyable. west german made and high quality. i think it was more than 64 MILES per hour, not 40... greetz from germany.
34. Guest
    Moin moin Hoshi is right. It's an old Volkswagen T3 Doka http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Vw...3_doka_sst.jpg Here is another video from youtube: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=Ukq-UUQAcZs&NR=1 Greetz from Germany Quellomat

    Throw an airbag or two in there and it's good to go. Stop being a pussy.
