The chariot that lord Krishna rode for Arjuna was supposedly very powerful.
As soon as the war of Mahabharata was over, Krishna took Arjuna's chariot to a remote place. He then asked Arjuna to get down first. Later Krishna himself got down from the chariot.
Then he took Arjuna to some distance away from the chariot and they both started looking at the chariot.
Then he showed Arjun the divine presence of Lord Hanuman on the chariot..
The moment Hanuman got down from the chariot, the horses burnt alive and the chariot exploded into pieces.
It's beleived to be due to the devastating effect of the arrows from Drona and Karna on Arjuna;s horses and chariot.
It was the devine presence of Lord Hanuman on the chariot that protected Arjuna from certain death by the hands of Drona and Karna.
Observing all this, Arjuna felt ashamed as his ego got hurt. He was under the impression that it was he valour which singlehandedly won the was for Pandavas.
