Inflatable Cars

Imagine specialises in producing inflatable cars for use by automotive companies in their radar testing and crash avoidance systems, namely Ford Active Safety USA, TRW Automotive Germany, Delphi Electronics Europe GmbH, Denso Sweden, Denso Japan, Hino Motors, Bosch GmbH, Peugeot Citroen, Mantruck, BMW, Autoliv, Audi, Toyota and Volvo (UK & Sweden).

As well as the stationary inflatable car for use with parking and crash sensors, we have made an inflatable car + sledge which can be pulled along as a moving target. We have even made highly engineered inflatable targets to the NCAP design. All the inflatables come with radar pockets which can be filled with aluminium foil which the RADAR and LIDAR systems can detect.

Product type:  Cold Air Sealed Inflatable (with filler valve) indoor use only, or outdoors in good weather.

Product:  The most popular model is the VW Golf, however we have also made hatchbacks, SUV's, small vans, saloons, caravans, and flatbed trucks. 

Dimensions:  We usually make the cars lifesize. If you want a model we have not made before we would require actual length/width/height dimensions as well as close up images.  We can make half cars also.

Specifications: One chamber for the main body.  Separate inflatable wheel chambers (detachable and replaceable). Tether hooks at sides, bonnet and rear for anchoring. Optional separate chambers for front and rear bumpers if collision is likely. Radar pockets.

Material: 0.35 mm PVC fabric material (double skin x 0.18mm) manufactured to EN71 standards, UV Stabilized.  0.25mm tarpaulin material for vehicle base and bottom of wheels (high scuff areas). A range of colours is available.

Artwork: Text/Logos can be included on the side doors, bonnet, and front/rear licence plates. We also artwork standard car features such as wheels, windows, wipers, lights, doors, handles etc.
