Through an advancement of the G Control technology, it became possible to improve safety in the impacted vehicle (“self-protection performance”), while also protecting the impacting vehicle in a collision (“damage reduction to other vehicles”).

The frame structure is modified from the traditional structure so that impact energy is received through a wider surface area and energy is more easily dispersed.
For frontal collisions, impact forces will disperse and be absorbed through the bulk head, wheelhouse member and side frames. The forces are then further transmitted to the front pillars, floor frame and side sills. The lower frame member prevents the off-set positioning against the impact absorber of the counter vehicle, and receive the impact on a wide surface area along with the bulk head and upper frame. This achieves significantly higher impact energy absorption performance. This approach not only reduces the forces to the passenger compartment, improving one’s own protection safety, but also minimizes damage to the other vehicle in a collision. By also increasing the section of the floor frame as well as making it straight, body rigidity can be further enhanced. Passenger compartment deformation will be limited, increasing self-protection ability.
