What about that VW t3 crash test?

[liftoffspaceshuttle]

I hope JB was in it

[MrHeyfuckoff]

i like the second t3 thats strong!

[lASusl]

Five star crash test rating

[manabu171]

OK!OK!荷物は無事だ( *´艸｀)

[my2006SS]

Shoot, it's so strong it just goes right through the barrier:)

[korkykory]

i guess its a good truck....when its empty, but isnt the point of a truck to carry things? it obviously isnt filled with to much weight cuz the suspension would show it

[bobthebuilder6938]

i see those kind of trucks in 3rd world countries thats y its a p.o.s 

[TheJeanfelype]

eu não quero andar nesse carro!

qual é idéia fazer caixões mais fino?

[HARDBODYRALF]

MADE IN CHINA.

[DeathTernya]

its not a vv t3 its the chinese copy of this ! really

[MultiSecretViewer]

there was 1ton of sand in bags on the back during the test...

[A3IOWN3DU]

at least goods safe nevermind



[adzii1]

That's messed up!

[Onemoremission]

Un disastro!!!!

[flipper2562]

no trucks were harmed during the making of this video.

[arlobrubaker]

i like when people make videos like these, i love having things in context

[1997styla]

whats the name of the song?

[wowt]

@1997styla 'Lost and Found' by me. 

[Carmaddude]

at least the cargo is okay

[husqvarnastyler]

that was a asiatic copy of a german Vw t3

[tibberiogracco]

Made in Germany (LOL)

[gueverraemz]

@StobbsN thats kinda racist but funny, im mexican though

[thdremily]

boy, I'm glad that passanger area was there to protect that cargo space!

[janetmerner]

This test while it was testing the Facility still shows us how the T3 would do in the real world carrying a load. The other crash tests after only shows that the T3 does better against smaller vehicles as they tend to go under the larger vehicles. Carrying half of the T3's Payload Hit a large tree, bridge pillar, or a bigger vehicle and you are dead, thankfully it will be quick. I am sure this vehicle would fail the modern Euro Ncap Offset of 64Kmph at 40 of the width. T3 = Absolute Garbage!

[janetmerner]

The T3 has a payload capacity of 990 kg / 2183 lbs. the truck was tested with roughly half that. In other words if you are a working man and you crash into a tree (On highway going into Village of Tettau in province of Brandenburg the trees are literally on the side of the highway) they are going to have to scrape you from inside this thing after of course they cut it off you. Are the Deutchlanders suicidal or is the pot from Holland that good?

[HoLDoN4Sec]

i think i will buy this car for my boss...

[ChiLLaTzE35]

at least the load is in safe

[TheBlackeyedpeas1996]

same if it is strong, the deceleration would kill you

[cocartmann1]

it is a really safe car last year i crashed into a mercedes spritner and one of the lamps was broken and the mercedes was totally crashed

[gzubens]

Thats T2 test not T3 !

[mibars]

@gzubens That's T3.

T1 - "hippie van"

T2 - Still quite round, but with big front windshield, manufactured to date in Brasil

T3 - That what you see here

[acenace24]

Looks safe A+

[tiagob0592]

If there was no weight on the back, the crash test speed must've been 300km/h!

[CisBanger]

This is a REAL T3 crash test.. !!!

/watch?v=qO_AfCFQR2M&feature=r­elated

[tourri]

The 1 ton is obvlously on the load floor on the back (under the cover) and squezzes the cabin from the rear end. No chance for any truck, no matter where made in the world.

[popek140777]

o co tu kurwa chodzi?

[mamutm6pl]

@popek140777

chodzi tu o to ze to nie byl oficjalny test T3 tylko test Ośrodka testującego demonstrujacy jego mozliwosci w 1999 roku. To byla stara pordzewiala T3ójka, jadąca ponad 80 kmh z 1toną ladunku na pace.

[theprodicalsonishere]

0:27 if that true then wheres the ton weight? surely we'd be able to see it as in this shot we can see the floor of the van and as for teh comparison with the volvo that would have happened if you had a bedford rascle with enough weight in it, its simple math the heavyer object will go thru the lighter object. funny how all teh other 'crash tests' of the t3 are vw corporate videos

[theprodicalsonishere]

0:27 if that true then wheres the ton weight? surely we'd be able to see it as in this shot we can see the floor of the van

[mamutm6pl]

@theprodicalsonishere all u would need is to lay some concrete in the back. Besides how would you know what a 1 tonne weight looks like. Its not as if it could be a cartoon where you see a huge piece of lead or iron with a 1 tonne written on it : )

[theprodicalsonishere]

@mamutm6pl a ton of concrete would displace a not inconsiderable area, at least two cubic metres id imagine conisdering a 850kg bag of sand occupies roughly 1.5m squared, a similar result could be gained through reinforcing the rear cell. the 0:42 crash test is no where near 50k/ph thats supposed to be the genuine T3 test. theres not enough panel deformation thoughout the structure of the entire van. considering a 3* 90's n-cap car would have A pillar deformation with a crumple zone deformed

[mamutm6pl]

@theprodicalsonishere when the t3 was being mase, euroncap didnt exist. The german adac did random tests of cars that interested them. There was no set guidelines bach then for tests. Maybe that wasnt 50kmh but it was the official test. That test with the cab completely diappearing was done in 1999! I think that thats a bit late for an official crash test of a car that was made in 1979-1992

[Beetlebank]

@theprodicalsonishere mmm. .. so a cubic meter of concrete weighs 500kg. That's only half the density of water!

[theprodicalsonishere]

@Beetlebank you never been to a building site? go down to jewsons or even B&Q sometimes has a few bags out front. this is dry too, once set id imagine it expands, considering a 5kg bag of concrete mix is enough to put up a 6x6 wall (bonding the bricks not as a concrete wall)

[Beetlebank]

@theprodicalsonishere I know what 17 tons of concrete looks like as I laid it for my workshop floor. It has a density of approximately 2400kg per cubic meter meaning 1 ton occupies about 0.42 cubic metres - that would fit in the back of an estate car. By your figures concrete would float in water. As for '...expanding once set...'! Try Wikipedia before you post ;-) Or is this a total wind-up and I've been had?

[theprodicalsonishere]

@Beetlebank or you were overcharged? do you not know what a 'jumbo bag' is or how big and heavy it is. concrete is the product of cement, sand, gravel and water, at a ratio of 1 part cement to 2 parts sand to 3 parts gravel, so half a 'jumbo' bag of cement mixed with a jumbo bag of sand and one and a half jumbo bags of gravel and you should have 2.55 tons (before water) which will occupy far greater a space than 1.5 cubic metres. the water evapourates so overall size wont increase, just stay

[Beetlebank]

@theprodicalsonishere Just look up the density of concrete on line - don't take my word for it. And for the record, most of the water is used in the chemical reaction with the cement. Ca3SiO5 + H2O → (CaO)·(SiO2)·(H2O)(gel) + Ca(OH)2. Surely you have noticed how much more space dry materials take up compared to when they are mixed. The water evaporates?! Now I know you're winding me up.

[theprodicalsonishere]

@Beetlebank you can quote the internet all day long great but you'v clearly never seen what a bag of cement weighing close to a ton looks like in terms of mass. ITS BIG! and laying concrete as a ballast isnt like laying a concrete floor in a workshop. do what else happens to the water as it drys out? is it returned back to god? or is it magic!

[Beetlebank]

@theprodicalsonishere I know what 17 tons of concrete looks like on my workshop floor;-) I've also seen enough 1 ton dumpy bags of Lime mortar, ballast and cement to last my lifetime.

'...and laying concrete as a ballast isnt like laying a concrete floor in a workshop.' eh???!!! For your information, concrete doesn't 'dry out'; the water chemically reacts with the cement and becomes part of the final solid mass.

[Beetlebank]

@theprodicalsonishere Yes, some watert lays on the surface and subsequently evaporates, however the vast bulk of the water is involved in the hydration of the cement. Not only do I quote the internet, I understand what I quote;-)

[theprodicalsonishere]

@Beetlebank jeesus pedantic or what usually when water no longer has the appearance of water most people are happy to say 'its evapourated' we also see the floor of the van at a few differant points in the video! with not a lump of concrete in sight

[legonightmare65]

@StobbsN haahahahahahaahaha!!!!!!!!!!

[fabianherrera2106]

yo si estoy deacuerdo con el asunto de la carga por que yo he cargado mi t3 con 1255 kg de concreto y la altura de la suspencion es la misma que en este video pero yo si he notado una diferencia con otros videos de t3 , es que la t3 fue fabricada con la totalidad estructural del techo si pueden accesar a otro video de t3 notaran que el vehiculo depende de la estructura que lleva interna el techo la cual evita que el chasis de doble hacia abajo

[RevolverLover101]

my neighbor has the orange truck. the first one that crashes. its yellow but maybe i should convice him to buy a diffrent car...........

[whamazoom]

As German as sauerkraut? What's funny is sauerkraut originated in China.

[chrisclarkcustoms]

If you look at 0:13 you san see the truck is already crashed a little.

[icouldntmakeupaname]

at least they saved that 1 ton of weight.

[K3NWOODD]

aua das wut bestimmt richtig weh :)

[Supcharged]

I don't agree!There is no air bag!The brain may be hurt.

What will happen if this car crash with Rolls-Royce Phantom EWD at 240km/h?

[ToInfinity1]

@Supcharged at that speed, regardless the car you are driving, a crash would be fatal

[Clerence1969]

Ugh... thank god, you told about the test conditions later... in the beginning of the vid, i was absolutely shocked about the heavy destruction of the drivers cabin... If this would had been a "real test", with such results, it would making you thinking a lot, about the Millions of these VW T3 on the road...

[lughole]

great vid. nice to see someone setting folk straight over 'that other vid'.

for a twenty year old car, imo, they are pretty safe.

however i do drive a t3 at 100kmh with a ton in the back EEK!

[jannikmt]

@lughole if you are driveing enything with 1ton in the back at 100mph your stuppid....

[lughole]

@jannikmt

kmh,learn to read.

one p in stupid.

[Nevanator7]

yeah my cousin said your a fake Volkswagen enthusiast who made these in photoshop and he said the first test is real. is that true?

[mikosoft]

@Nevanator7 Conspiracy theorists unite!

[Naflord]

You just have to stay in the cargo-room to survive a crash in the car.

That's why, in Africa for example, people prefer to sit/stay at the back end of old busses.

[coolwatcher007]

you must eat to sauerkraut weißwurst! and i hate other states when they make so vere sick copys.

sry my englsih is not very well i come from germany^^

[MetroFunX]

thx 4 video

[colonelerotic]

Everyone commenting here so far is wrong...

It's actually the T3 "accordion" model.

[hebneh]

I might also point out that this is clearly an old vehicle. Crash tests are performed with new model cars probably nearly all the time, which is yet more evidence that this is not one of the normal crash tests.

[guntruckfahrer]

finally someone who posted the TRUTH about this test!

Thank you guy. Now i go on drive arround in my beloved T3, cruising arround, waiting for prey and leave nothing behind than mutilated corsas and scooter kids! :D

[Celso463]

GREAAT 5* to send to some places....

[Sanyey]

lol.. everyone knows except the ones that commented shit below, that it was loaded with 1 tonns of weight in the back, and was running around 70-100 km/h---

[DEVINVISHOTT]

i love america

[suarneduj]

Chinese crap, not a real thing

[IRCip]

THAT IS THE FACILITY TEST

[Posthuman83]

Check the real T3 crashtest  qO_AfCFQR2M

[fmcbule]

That why it titles "This is not a crash test of the T3" so yes it's not a T3

[dharvell]

It is, in fact, a crash test of a T3, going 5 km/h with no weight added! I know that because I worked there, during the test!

Yeah... sarcasm over. I can't believe the level of retardation, here on YouTube. It's a Chinese van... indeed...

[alexauto321]

Volkswagen is a german car manufactor. Not a chinese one.

[stalkingalizee]

Chinese cars crumple just like that.

[MrKiraly77]

@alexauto: thanks you finaly made it clear. It must have had serious reason that poor T3 crashed so badly. many other comments just blame without any knowledge...

[alexauto321]

It is a old, rusty VW T3. Speed was 80 km/h with 1 ton of weight in the back. Test was made at the ADAC, at the opening of the new testing facility in 1999 in Landsberg, Germany. They wanted to demonstrate the capability of the facility. I know that, because I worked there.

[boogioogigoof]

@alexauto321

Actually it was more like 60 km/h and the VW bus was a delivery truck.

[KGWOLF77]

@alexauto321 Yeah! And there was VW Golf 2 and Bug. In Golf crash video you exactly can see, that threshold (bottom) of car was rusty or cut, i have seen 2nd Golfs and Jettas, which have crased at ~50-65 km/h, and deformation was normal, noone died.

[kkohouta]

@KGWOLF77 And the the bug was designed at the 30`s,,, Almost all other crash test cars are -90`s or new generation. I think,that bug survied very vell.

[theprodicalsonishere]

@KGWOLF77 what massive cabin intrusion? yes normal for that class of car in the late 1980's. but still at 30mph your loosing at least a leg

[lianmix]

@alexauto321 at 0:10 we all see that the truck is empty ... where is the 1 ton of weight ? r u serius? omg.

[007bondspy]

@alexauto321 Wow I worked there too, do you remember me ?

[joedawg112]

@alexauto321 cool and my father is obama

[gazzxr]

@alexauto321 You worked there and ur 26 yr old... hmm i didn't know they hired 14 yr olds back in 1999

[jcbiddulph]

... THIS ISNT A VW, ITS A CHINESE VAN!

[73VW1800]

@jcbiddulph ... "THIS ISNT A VW, ITS A CHINESE VAN!"

Good lord. Even surrounded by information, you vomit b.s. No wonder America is in such deep trouble, American citizens are unable to process simple facts.

[smirnofowner]

Its NOT a chinese van, its aT3 loaded to max run in high speed, stop for god sakes saying tath.

[blower069]

This is a car for china, Volkswagen german makes better quality in germany

[KGWOLF77]

LOOK at the bumper! It is crookedly established, that means, in this t3 deformation element was cutted out!

[laynesamba]

yes

[Kazka13]

OMFG!! This car is completely safe, if you have a deathwish xD

[TheMCMXXL]

Hell! The T3 was loaded with a TON of weight and runned with 120 km'/h into the wall! What do you think would happen to any other Car in this situation? They would -pulverize!-

[maxcrol1]

В данный Т3 положили груз. 2 тонны в кузове. Перед испытанием инженерам пришлось усиливать подвеску, так как заводская не выдержала. Читайте что написанно во время ролика!!!

[xxpwnageboyxx]

ya uhhh.... english please? stuiped russian....

[laynesamba]

stupid racist

[rudolflandini]

English please

[dokabernd]

Erst einmal ist das kein "BUS" sondern eine Doppelkabine!!! zweitens hatte die "Doka" Gewichte auf der Ladefläche!

Drittens wurde mit dem Test eine neue Teststrecke "eingeführt"!!!

[asaluste007]

Well you can load your T3 up with some heavy stuff but I don't think that little van could carry enough weight to create such carnage at normal speeds. When you have a head on impact with a concrete wall at 60mph you'll be fucked up anyway.

[G00G00L]

Jeah... the T3 is a tank!! (compared to other 80ies vehicles...) ;)

[1996Maurice]

The first car likes a vw but it is not.

xd Whahah funny

[n1Erik90]

Wat

[bunning63]

At last someone puts it into context, but you have to worry about all those people who believe all they see and don't think about it, scary. Person who posted those "Chinese truck" vids must be laughing his head off.

[amg200i]

The first crash test is a car made in China the others chash test are Volswagen T3 .

[chinafuckaltaipig]

vw is germany car (1983)

[Vallecrash]

The facility test was uploaded by some idiot as crash test of a chinese truck, yes.

[billybobthornton1000]

Thats great, but the whole point of buying a van is so that you can load it up, with either people or miscellaneous materials for what ever reason.....in saying that the first test counts for 9 out of 10 people which will be driving their *loaded* van.

[whattheheck1000]

The test was at about 62 mph.

[bunning63]

You are right, worry how people believe what they see/hear...

[vldthenigga]

its more safetly to stay in the back of the truck :)))

[fitninoit]

so dos that mean that the t 25 would fold up like a accordion if you had a load on lol

[zoppo9999]

Thanks for posting this. That guy from HK is talking a lot of bs, sadly most people fall for it.

[chinafuckturkpig]

the guy isnt from hk

he is a evil japs

[drfrasse]

its a t25

[NorthwesternNL]

thanks for clearing that up. It obviously was carrying a lot of weight. But still, some people would load it like that, and they risk a crash (sadly).

[mikosoft]

Thanks a lot for the insight!

[And4ea8]

Good job! I was to uncertain with this video, because my father had a T3 and was involved in an accident with a golf 2 golf course and the run about 80-90 km / h and was made pieces and T3 only slightly deformed and the radiator was broken. (sorry for me ugly english)

[escarabajodelapatata]

gracias por la explicación!!

tengo una t3 y estaba un poco acojonado desde que vi ese video. Además no había encontrado ningún otro sobre tests de choque de este modelo.

me quedo mucho más tranquilo!!

tank you! now I feel more safety whit my t3!!

[BrentAudi]

Big Difference!

Brent

[56KbModem]

hate to break it up for you guys, but the car was loaded with tons of shit in the back so that WV could check how the car will crash when it's really heavy.

No magic, al-qaeda or shitty engineering. Just a different type of test.

[utubeb14]

pause it a o.15  look at the front somthing is missing

[CHNPower]

Please teach me dealer shop of this car.

[dahgutone]

so much for backseat is allways safe

[vitalijresler]

А еще говорят что ГАЗель хреновая машина.

[McKNUCKLEHEAD20]

Hmm.....I'm looking for strong vw camper bus / van.........show me. Please?

Call me.

[utubeb14]

stop it at 0:14 look at the front of it some thing i not right

[cLoCkWoRk12489]

im guessing that it was an authentic T3, they probably just had it goin 80 lol.

[flybikes90]

or had some weight in it too

[joness105639]

its a pickup so its possible that with a full load this could happen in real life.  Thats what pickups do, they haul heavy leads in back.

[Tabbo107]

Thank you for that video, I already wondered if the crash test video was a fake or something like that.

One guy uploaded the crash test video and calls it a test of a Chinese car and deletes all comments putting that right. Too stupid! :-)

[OpelKadett1980]

thank you for helping the world sort out this big mistake !!!

[demossmd]

Volvo 745: Head Injury-3,868, Head Impact 200G, Chest Impact 65G; VW T3 Head Injury 155, Head Impact 42G, Chest Impact 30G.

So much for Volvo safety. Also, Youtube search Volkswagen T3 Crash Test Video 3 of 3

I have a 2003 T4 VW Eurovan and wish the USA would allow Americans to buy the T5 and the upcoming T5.5 Oh well, guess I'll have to smuggle one in from Mexico and swap VIN numbers. JK

[RealizedRealization]

When it comes to big versus small, the passengers in a bigger car almost always have the advantage.

[Jed118]

I beg to differ, I flipped over a 1998 Chevy venture with a 1987 Hyundai Pony 1.6.

I was going 90 (KM/h) and he was going 50, I caught him on the driver's corner with the driver's side of mine, and he climbed my car and skidded for 10-15 feet. No one was injured in my car.

In fact, I have the engine in another Pony.

The car honestly didn't look too bad (write off) but heh... why bother having crumple zones when you can use the other cars'? ;)

[numchukh]

Hopefully..

[Shaggyshadric]

Thank you so much for putting this video up to help sort out the confusion. You should add that the "VW crash test" was done at over 80 mph with a load of roughly 2 tons in the back.

[alihassan321]

I LOVE THAT BUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[redspicee]

mhmhm goood car ! :D

[BoredTrucker1902]

Those real tests does not have loads. It is a pick-up truck and people DO carry heavy loads. Without loads, the occupants may survive, but with loads, zero survivors. Great video though!

[Shaggyshadric]

It was over 2tons of load added. They ended up reinforcing the rear suspension because the weight was more than what the VW was rated for. They had to make those modifications for the purpose of safety. If the rear suspension gave out, the truck may have swung in either direction. No stock VW of that style would be able to carry that much weight. At least not safely. I personally owned a 71 bus, They are surprisingly solid in a crash. I crashed at 40 mph into a Saturn and drove away fine.

[bibicomobile]

pelo - ,a suposta mercadoria esta salva

XD

[Skarfar90]

Now I get a better thought of my car :)

[whattheheck1000]

it's a safe one.

[geomod18]

good job

[dogfisheyes]

wowt,your a star ! well done,and thanks very much.

[whattheheck1000]

and in the 1st t3 crash the van is probably doing 60+ mph (96+ kilos)

[Draven84]

don't think that's enough

[alexkvaskov]

And the part where the test was shown backwards, it's just so neat - the van repairs itself.

[alexkvaskov]

Well, there is no crumple zone, but this is an old van. Even if there was a crumple zone, it would help much as old designs were too stiff to deform properly. And I think that that T3 crash test speed was at much faster speeds than current standards.

[richardmaudsley77]

alexkvaskov, the van does have a crumple zone. it is built into the chassis in front of the wheels.

[alexkvaskov]

well obviously wasn't effective

it was probably going at a very high speed that even today's vehicles with lots of safety features cannot protect from

[richardmaudsley77]

Yeah. I bet a modern VW transporter or ford transit would do the exact same thing with all that weight in the back, and all the speed. The 80's VW bus was famous at the time for kicking volvo's ass, safety wise.

[kleppwood]

and a ton of cargo

[gownomac]

yay i bet that t3 can stand against h1 :P lol

[icantthink4155]

great video, that first part is very scary but it seems to hold up pretty well to real crashs
