The Chinese invention that is shaking up the global auto industry – how their new seat belt system works

Chinese invention

The seat belt is one of the most crucial passive safety features in automobiles. This new Chinese invention, which was put into use at the end of the previous century, has been able to lower the likelihood of mortality in an accident by 60%. The arrival of a Chinese automobile might alter this model. The Chinese company Chery unveiled the Jaecoo J7, an electric SUV that requires all passengers to buckle up before the handbrake can be deactivated. This cutting-edge system is meant to supplement the audio alert that many contemporary cars feature that indicates a passenger has not buckled up.

This is the new Chinese invention that will shake the entire world

The marketing of the Jaecoo J7 has already started in several European nations, including Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Although a timetable has not yet been set, the business plans to gradually deploy the vehicle in the remaining countries. In 1975, Spain became the first country to enact legislation requiring seat belts for front seats. Only 17 years later, in 1992, was it made required to wear it in the back seats as well. The Dirección General de Tráfico states that failing to wear a seat belt can result in a fine of up to 200 euros and, if you are the driver, the loss of four license points. Thanks to this Chinese invention the driver is also in charge of making sure that everyone else is wearing it. Using seat belts is something that many individuals do incorrectly.  

For instance, using clips to release pressure may result in the passenger suffering severe injuries since the belt would be less tight and our bodies would move farther before braking. It’s also a big mistake to put towels or other accessories under the seat. The famous “submarine effect” occurs when we slide under the seat belt and collide with the car’s interior when we are seated on a moving surface. Lastly, since their vehicles have several safety features, some drivers grow complacent and believe that wearing a seatbelt is not essential.  Even though these devices greatly aid in preventing accidents and minimizing their damage, they are useless unless used in conjunction with a seat belt.

The Chinese invention known as Jaecoo J7 is a blend of elegance and performance

Novel Motor Company’s Omoda Jaecoo Vehicles Sales Executive, Ildiko Nagy, emphasizes that this new Chinese invention stands out for its distinctive qualities, pointing out its streamlined, aerodynamic appearance. The design is very elegant, stylish, and aerodynamic. “The entire appearance and feel convey a high-end, upscale feeling at a reasonable cost,” Ildiko suggests. Customers seeking an elegant yet functional car that blends performance and style will find the J7 appealing. The dynamic checkerboard lighting design is one notable feature; it ensures visibility without dazzling other drivers by automatically dimming when cars approach from the other direction. For safer nighttime driving, this new Chinese invention’s LED-powered lighting system also has auto-dimming lights. 

A distinctive grille design on the outside of the J7 distinguishes it from other cars in its class.  According to Ildiko, Jaecoo has a distinct identity, even if it is a Chery sub-brand.  The design has a competitive yet unique appeal, appealing to both men and women. Moreover, for increased convenience and safety, the J7’s interior features a 360-degree video system that lets the driver parks easily and pays attention to their surroundings. The checkered lighting scheme, which offers superior visibility in low light, is carried over to the back of this Chinese invention.  Another example of the J7’s usefulness is its boot. With a 12-volt connection for convenience, the automated boot opens smoothly to provide plenty of room for a refrigerator, baggage, or even camping equipment. Additionally, a full-size spare wheel is provided, guaranteeing that drivers may swap out tires without difficulty.
