When it comes to safety, there's one name that certainly rules – that's
Volvo. Although other giants in the automotive industry have started
outfitting their automobiles with modern safety equipments, still,
Volvo's safety technology seems to be unparalleled. It has been the
known leader in safety innovations. The company's reputation for safety
began in the '60's, when they employ the "safety cage and crumple
zones" concept in every car that rolls out in their assembly plant.
Them"safety cages" stand for the strong materials used in the place
where passengers would be seated while the "crumple zones" are designed
to take in all the impact caused by collision or accidental bumps.
Volvo has also been known for other safety innovations like
padded dashboards, three-point seatbelts, the BLIS system and the WHIPS
or Whiplash Protection System. The BLIS system is a sensor system that
warns the driver when a car comes in the vehicle's blind spot. Since
Volvo is now a part of Ford Motor Company, most of these safety
features are now being shared with some Fords cars. But still, no one
can deny that Volvo is the first to introduce them.
Originally known as AB Volvo, the company is a Swedish
world-class manufacturer of buses, commercial vehicles, drive systems
for industrial and marine uses, construction equipments, aerospace
components and services. Today, Volvo is recognized as the world's
leading provider of transport solutions for commercial use. And it has
always been working hard to give its followers the best automotive
solution.
Volvo was founded in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden, way back in 1927.
It owns Volvo cars until 1998 when Ford decided to purchase this
automobile division and make it a part of Ford's Premiere Automotive
Group. Volvo cars, even the classic ones are designed with
sophistication and inspiring power and performance. Among the
celebrated and well-acclaimed Volvo cars in the industry are Volvo S80,
Volvo S60, Volvo S40, Volvo V70, Volvo V50, Volvo XC90 and Volvo C70.
Try to have one and you'll come to admire Volvo's luxurious comfort,
sporty performance and remarkable safety.
