Safe doesnt "just happen": New S60 Ahead of the class

Image
A lot of car companies test their vehicle safety to "star" ratings or standards, and not to real-world conditions. Volvo thinks differently though, and engineers their cars differently as a result. Case in point...the 2012 Volvo S60 is ahead of the competition in the new IIHS offset-crash test, which mimics an accident that is much closer to a real world scenario. The IIHS released its findings Tuesday and said that only three of 11 midsize luxury and near-luxury cars earned good or acceptable ratings in the new overlap frontal crash test. Overlap crashes are responsible for a quarter of all fatal front-end collisions, and as the new crash test found, most cars - domestic and foreign - are unprepared to keep drivers safe in one of these crashes. "Nearly every new car performs well in other frontal crash tests conducted by the Institute and the federal government, but we still see more than 10,000 deaths in frontal crashes each year," Institute President ...

Reducing Highway Traffic Collisions by 42%

It's a pretty bold claim...but one that can be backed up by real life research. From Autotalk: Recently, a research project by the name European Field Operational Test (EuroFOT) was put together to explore some of the most innovative vehicle active safety systems. With some help from Volvo and 27 other organizations, real world tests were conducted across an 18 month time span to find out just how helpful systems such as adaptive cruise control really are. Using 100 V70 and XC70 models, 263 drivers returned 30 terra bytes of data so that five major safety features could be analyzed. With the study finalized, the results have further proved Volvo knows its way around vehicle safety. “The analyses show that our world-leading focus on new safety and support technologies delivers results in everyday traffic conditions,” said Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President of Research and Development at Volvo Car Corporation. The study looked at five safety systems used by ...
