“Cars are driven by people. Therefore, the guiding principle
behind everything we make at Volvo is – and must remain
–
safety.”

In 2008, Volvo Cars introduced the new XC60 with City Safety – the world’s first standard-fitted
collision avoidance and mitigation technology active at speeds up to 20 mph. Helping to lower the
risk of low-speed collisions and whiplash injury, City Safety is a major step towards safer urban driving.
At the moment, City Safety is only available in the Volvo XC60.

In 1976, Volvo Cars was the first car manufacturer to introduce the three-way catalytic converter with
an oxygen sensor for exhaust emission control. Today virtually all gasoline-powered cars are equipped
with this ingenious component – just as indispensable for the environment as the three-point seat belt
is for safety.

In 1959, Nils Bohlin, a Volvo safety engineer, invented the three-point safety belt. So important is this
invention, it is considered to be one of the most life-saving technical innovations in the history of mankind.
