The aim of all crash safety measures is to preserve the 

crash survival space inside the vehicle and provide 

maximum protection for the occupants in accidents. 

This is achieved by transferring the forces arising in 

the collision specifically to the vehicle structure. In this 

way, the degree of deformation at the point of impact 

is reduced as the forces affect a larger area.

On the Eos, in frontal and side collisions, the forces 

are distributed broadly across the centre and lower 

load levels thanks to the reinforcing and stiffening 

measures on the side and floor structure so that 

maximum protection for occupants is guaranteed 

even when the roof is open.
