body frame structure.
Honda Motor Company has introduced a new crash compatibility body frame structure that the company says provides greater safety in collisions between vehicles of differing size and weight. The new body design, which builds on Honda's proprietary "G-Control" (G-CON) collision safety body technology, uses the engine compartment to efficiently disperse and absorb collision energy during a vehicle-to-vehicle collision. Honda says that this significantly improves self protection while also reducing damage to other vehicles. The new body design was introduced on the all-new Life mini-car in Japan. Honda says that vehicles built on new platforms will be equipped with the new crash compatibility body design during full model changeovers. Honda says that the new crash compatibility body employs a front-end frame structure that reduces the potential concentrated force of an impact by dispersing and absorbing crash energy over a larger area - and does not easily become misaligned laterally or vertically with the frame of the other vehicle involved in the crash.
