NO. 1 ON RESULTS
The patented BLADE TMA has achieved exceptional results in full-scale crash tests, meeting MASH 2016 standards at the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI). It demonstrated outstanding performance, with all ride-down values within the preferred range (MASH recommends a longitudinal ride-down of 15.0 g, with a maximum of 20.49 g). Additionally, the BLADE TMA has been crash tested to the UK optional 70mph / 110 kph standard, ensuring the highest level of safety available.
WHY THE BLADE AND HOW IT WORKS
The BLADE TMA stands out due to its patented design featuring composite aluminum welded profiles and 12 internal blades. Upon impact, the first 4 blades slice through the aluminum composite H-beams, while the remaining 8 blades cut through the welded tubes. This innovative mechanism ensures that the remaining aluminum parts bend safely away, effectively absorbing the impact. The patented technology leverages these cutting blades to enhance the TMA’s performance and safety.
WHY mash?
The MASH standards address the evolving safety needs due to significant changes in vehicle sizes over the past decade. With light trucks’ average bumper heights increasing since 1993, older highway safety designs no longer provide adequate protection. MASH standards have been developed to ensure that safety barriers and attenuators meet the new requirements for effective crash protection and occupant safety.
