Lantu Taishan X8 Survives 20-Meter Cliff Drop Test—Battery Endures 6x National Standard Impact Without Igniting

At its launch event, Landwind showcased a real-world test video of the Landwind Taishan X8 leaping off a 20-meter cliff. In the test, the 2.79-ton vehicle launched off a 2.5-meter-high ramp at a speed exceeding 100 km/h, then landed and struck eight steel balls, each with a diameter of 60 mm, simulating extreme underbody impact conditions. Following the test, the vehicle’s Amber Battery 2.0 showed no signs of smoke, fire, or explosion, and the doors unlocked and opened normally. The battery features a 16-layer protective structure capable of withstanding a 38 kN underbody impact force and 1,000 J of impact energy—six times the requirement of China’s new national standards. Additionally, the battery pack is equipped with a 13 mm high-strength aluminum alloy crossbeam and a 1,500 MPa hot-stamped steel underbody shield, providing extra structural protection.
