SAG Euromotive has developed a honeycomb geometry that protects the occupants against knee injuries in case of a frontal crash. This is especially for the US market, where the crash test in compliance with FMVSS208 is carried out using an unrestrained dummy.  | Best possible efficiency (90% with regard to the energy to be absorbed)
| | 80% of the install space used for energy absorption
| | Simple tuning
| | Simple connection to the carrier system |
The energy absorbed by the construction combined with the material of aluminium make the effectiveness of the honeycomb independent of temperature, in contrast to polymer constructions. The honeycombs can also be efficiently implemented in small-scale and large-scale standard-productions.
