Q10A

The largest member in the Q series. Due to its size the dummy comes with a kit for biofidelic side impact performance.

This kit consists of a half arm and shoulder loadcell. In 2018 Euro NCAP adopted another addition to the Q10 developed by Cellbond.

The upgrade kit improves shoulder and lap belt routings as well as interaction with the front seat. The original Q10 dummy – as currently used in Regulation R129 – is the Q10A, while the version with this upgrade kit is listed as Q10B.
