The eCoVan Ultra Light succesfully passed the XL-test !
According to the French norm: NF EN 12642
The test force was realized by air cushions, located between tested element and strong supported frame.
During the test there was measured and observed:
– Deflection centre of panels
– Diagonals of rear frame
– Cracks/noise during applying load
– Deformation of the body elements (if visible) .
Conditions :
– For side walls: apply 40% of the loading capacity => 2700 kg x 40% = 1080 kg
– For front walls: apply 50% of the loading capacity => 2700 kg x 50% = 1350 kg
Target :
during test, maximum deformation must not exceed 300m
after test, maximum deferormation must not exceeed 20mm
Results
– Side wall 14 mm:
Maxi deformation: 126 mm
Remaining deformation: 12 mm
– Side wall 25 mm:
Maxi deformation: 101 mm
Remaining deformation: 7 mm
– Front wall 14 mm:
Maxi deformation: 89 mm
Remaining deformation: 11 mm
Conclusion : the eCoVan Ultra Light passed the XL test with distinction !
