A holistic view of safety…
Crash/Damage reduction
Normal driving Conflict Avoidance After
collision
Time
The driver is well informed and can stay alert.
Technology helps the driver to handle the difficult situation.
The car acts automatically to avoid a collision if the driver fails to react.
The car’s safety systems help to reduce the crash energy in order to minimize the effect on the occupants.
The car automatically calls for assistance and facilitates the rescue work.

…our future.
Our vision is to design cars that should not crash.In the shorter perspective the aim is that by 2020
no-one should be killed or injured in a Volvo.
