Eastwind Luyi Auto Responds to Dragon Truck Crash Test: Serious Infringement Established
Phoenix Technology News, July 31st, Eastwind Luyi Automobile Co., Ltd. issued a statement about the infringement of certain brand's use of collision video. The statement states that on July 29th, 2025, the brand released a video showing the collision between its car and Dragon Truck, which constitutes serious infringement and exceeds normal commercial competition boundaries, seriously misleading and harming the public's right to know, causing significant negative impact to our company's brand and reputation, and potentially violating relevant laws such as the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, Advertising Law, and Civil Code.
The statement points out that the brand did not publicly disclose the test vehicle's condition (whether both vehicles are modified, reduced, or equipped with safety devices), testing environment (testing site conditions, speed, driving status, etc.), and through custom-designed collision conditions, released a video showing a collision with a large deviation from normal collisions, not only lowering our company's brand image but also easily misleading the general public and creating safety hazards.
The statement notes that Eastwind Luyi Automobile Co., Ltd. will continue to monitor this event and reserve the right to pursue legal responsibilities for any impacts caused by it.
A video of the i8 car colliding with a truck at 100km/h released during the Ideal i8 new car launch event on this week has sparked widespread discussion, with the truck's four wheels lifting off and the driver's cab tilting after the collision. In response to this, the official Douyin account of Dragon Truck stated that their legal department is handling the matter.
