DESCRIPTION:
SATISTICS FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN NOT BECOMING SATISTICS.
“A barrier impact at 55 km/h can generate between 80,000 and120,000 lbs of force.”
“In a 45 km/h front end collision, a 165lb man hits the windshield with a force of 3 tons.”
“A 20 km/h increase in impact speed from 45 to 65 km/h means that 79% more energy must be absorbed
Let a bunch of safety engineers slam enough cars into a wall and statistics like these begin to pile up. The more of them you have to work with, the safer the car you can build.
At Volvo, safety has always been a high priority.
So every year at our Technical Center in Gothenburg, Sweden, we destroy between 70 and 80 Volvos in crash tests. And the statistics we’ve gathered over the years have helped us make he kinds of innovations that have made Volvo the standard of safety for the automobile industry.
Our now famous steel “safety cage,” for stance, surrounds the passenger compartment of a Volvo and is designed to keep it from
crumpling during a collision. Every weld in it is strong enough to support the weight of the entire car.
At either end of a Volvo is a built-in safety zone.
It’s especially designed to crumple in order to absorb some of the energy forces of a collision instead of passing them along to the occupants.
To make sure you have protection on all sides in a Volvo, we’ve placed tubular steel anti-intrusion bars in all doors.
Even our steering column is designed to collapse upon impact and our laminated windshield is designed to remain intact.
Of course no car can protect you in a crash unless you’re wearing the safety innovation that became standard equipment in Volvos back in 1959: the three point safety belt. (Statistics show that fifty percent of the deaths due to road accidents could be avoided if drivers and passengers were wearing them). So if you’re interested in not becoming a highway satistic, take a precaution the next time you take to the highway.
Be sure to fasten your seat belt. And incidentally, it might be a good idea to be sure it’s fastened to a Volvo.
VOLVO - A car you can believe in.
