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

For decades, we’ve created cars that encourage people to enjoy life and help protect it in the event of an
accident. Many of the most important car safety innovations are the hallmark of Volvo, and hundreds of
thousands of people all over the world can say they’re still alive thanks to Volvo ingenuity.
This is not by coincidence. Our founders stated that safety is, and shall always be, at the heart of what we do.
As a result, Volvo is recognized the world over for our passion and dedication to provide the safest cars on
the road.
The protective character of Volvo also encompasses the world we share. Already in 1972, Volvo was the
first car manufacturer to acknowledge and actively respond to the environmental impact of cars. In fact,
we invented the three-way catalytic converter, and are constantly innovating to reduce the environmental
impact of the cars we make and how we make them.

Of course, choosing a Volvo will always be something you do for both yourself and the people around you
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.

because our cars will always consider the well-being of everyone. Even if those people happen to be
outside your car or are part of future generations.

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.
