We suggest this item should refer to the section 8.3 in international standard ISO12405-1. This reliability test is more closer to the practical running situation of commercial vehicles.

Reason :different chassis and structure; different operating environment

If this item is applicable to passenger vehicles ， it`s also applicable to commercial vehicles.

Reason : commercial vehicles could use the same cells/modules as thePassenger vehicles

To commercial vehicles, tests about crash performance is not necessary ， so this item could be cancelled.
