History of the Vulture
For the first time, the use of metal pipes for the protection of the bumper and the grille of the radiator began with American farmers who lived in places where cattle grazing on the fields along the roads was a daily occurrence.
Originally, the design was called a "bulbar", that is, "grille for the protection against bulls." In the future, the idea moved to Europe and Australia, where the device was renamed to roo bar, that is, "a grille for protection from the kangaroo", as these animals suddenly pop up on the highway and lose the ability to think, blinding from the light of the headlights, which often results in clashes.
Later, the manufacturers of the SUV turned the kangaroo into a decoration, although the construction of the details has not changed, as well as the main material for production-stainless steel.
The use of the pendulum was prohibited by the EU directive in 2002
In Europe, at the end of the 90s, road safety services, carrying out statistical research, found that as a result of a car with a centipendulum killed about two thousand animals a year, and more than eighteen thousand people were seriously injured, not to mention pedestrians. After that, a campaign was launched against the Kangarhops. As a result of debates in the parliaments of a number of countries, the authorities have reached similar conclusions: cars with steel bars pose a serious threat to pedestrians. The use of cenguracers was prohibited by the EU directive in 2002.
List of centuriums
As a general rule, this word has been taken to mean the construction of steel pipes which are fixed on the front of the vehicle. However (this is more relevant to SUVs) for cross-secting movement, the bars of smaller size and weight are fixed, but with more frequent binding, for the protection of headlamps and varnishing coverage from contact with branches and bushes.
In countries where the exploitation of the real kengurpendulum is prohibited, manufacturers have started offering models with [ [ simulation]] s of [ [ plastic]] s
Light vehicles that operate in agricultural areas are also being grated for protection against branches and bushes, but in contrast to classic wallets, they are made of aluminium or composite materials.
Additional cengurpendulum functions
Due to the fact that there are additional holes on the cengurende, many motorists use them as a base for the installation of additional headlamps, antennas or winches.
Modern Centuralists
Many car owners initially perceived the Kenghurin as a more passive safety feature of the car, taking the initial collision energy. During the development of off-road vehicles, many producers have integrated the staff of the kangaroo into the active security system, carrying them with sensors, when the driver and the passenger are activated.
In Russia, in the 1990s, it was seen in cars of different classes, from large SUVs to "Oka" or "Tavria"
In countries where the exploitation of real kangarusheres is prohibited, manufacturers such as Land Rover, for example, have begun to offer models with plastic pipes simulators that act as additional dampeners in the collision. The car that is so designed does not normally lose the ability to move independently after a collision with a large animal. In addition, cars with "fake" gandulets are safer for both animals and pedestrians.
Kens in Russia
The first kangarhens came to Russia at the beginning of the ' 90s, along with the cars on which they were installed. In the future, in connection with media coverage of various kinds of off-road competitions, such as the Camel Trophy, an incredibly popular race time, the country has a unique fashion to install protective structures of this type. At the same time, you could see the cengurtures in cars of different classes, from big SUVs to "Oka" or "Tavria".
Law of the Centuralists in Russia
By the way, the GFMD has never officially welcomed the installation of the kangaroo. It was not possible to remove or train a car with non-routine parts not provided by the manufacturer, at least in a legal way, and the car service near the points of state registration received additional income, rapidly taking off the Kengurins, and then installing them back after obtaining the numbers by the owner of the car.
In 2009, the Russian Government received the latest version of the technical regulations developed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. It contained a paragraph on the complete prohibition of the use of motor vehicles with kangaroos, whether or not it was a staff member. Despite the active indignation in the amateurs ' environment, the rules were adopted. However, in September 2010, the most controversial paragraphs from the document were deleted. In particular, it was recognized that the on-board computer system of the system and the ban on the use of kangaroos on off-road vehicles were not practical.
In accordance with the 2010 amendments, the use of the front-protection systems is again permitted for off-road vehicles with a maximum mass of 2 tonnes, while a description of the concept of "SUV" is sufficiently detailed in the text of the document, which completely excludes the use of cengurpas in normal cars and small trucks.
