Volvo - Building a Reputation of Safety

Structure

The unsurpassed safety reputation of Volvo Automobiles derives from a combination of features, systems, and fundamental elements designed and refined through years of experience on the road, on the test track, and on the drawing board.

Underlying all of them is the structure of the car itself. The structure of every Volvo contributes to the safety of driver and passengers in two complementary ways. First, by helping to protect them from the force of a collision. Second, by providing a strong platform for its dynamic safety systems, like predictable steering and handling characteristics and ABS brakes. Among the structural features that contribute to Volvo's safety engineering are unibody construction, the passenger safety cage of high-strength steel, the energy absorbing structures in front and rear, and the side impact protection system(tm).
