According to ATG Access, a testing site representative who witnessed the test said: “At this time this is the highest energy level ever tested to in the world, this product has performed to a level which surpasses our own original specifications.”
When the truck struck the bollard the energy produced was around 7400kJ. For illustration, this is roughly equivalent to the energy of a 1.5 tonne car travelling at over 220mph.
Watch the video. It really is very impressive.
ATG Access will be showing the crash test video at its stand at IFSEC – visit Stand C40 to see it there.
