TAF

Keep damage to a bare minimum in case of an accident. TAF, a Total Advanced Function body offering the world’s highest level of safety.

Safety functions that protect car occupants in case of an accident are an essential condition in choosing an automobile. Daihatsu uses TAF*1, a Total Advanced Function body that keeps occupant damage to a minimum. Platforms for the new Move and Mira models that went on sale in 2002 were completely renewed. By using collision-dispersing body structure and strong but thin high-tension steel sheet collision-absorption functions were improved. A solid cabin and a more lightweight vehicle were also made possible through TAF, which continues to evolve.

A crash experiment based on the highest world standards at frontal full lap 55 km/h, frontal offset 64 km/h, side 55 km/h. At all angles, the test proved there was ample survival space inside the car.

Results of a frontal-collision and side-collision crash test using a car heavier than the car being tested, with both running at 50 km/h, proved there was ample survival space and a high level of occupant protection.

Based on the overall crash-safety assessment for automobile assessment (safety information)*2 established by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Move received a five-star ranking for both driver and passenger seat, while Terioskid received the top assessment of six stars for its passenger seat.

Daihatsu will continue to create cars with a top priority on having customers “feel safe in our cars.”
*2  Three experiments were performed, including full-lap frontal, offset frontal and side collisions and evaluated on a six-step scale.

A first for light vehicles! Acquisition of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism “Pedestrian Head Protection Standard”*
A body that minimizes pedestrian injury.
A body that minimizes pedestrian injury has been used so that it can be utilized in case of an accident involving pedestrians. By creating a collision-defusing device and absorption space in the hood, fender, hood hinge and wiper pivot areas, pedestrian-protection functions have been heightened. The new Miragino has cleared the “Pedestrian Head Protection Standard,” a first for light vehicles. The Standard was set in motion by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as of September 2005.
