VOLVO SAFETY

Safety has been one of Volvos core values and a top priority since the earliest days of Volvo Trucks. Their vision Toward Zero Accidents means that no Volvo truck should be involved in an accident. 

Since 1927, safety has been the guiding principle for everything Volvo builds. They invented the three-point safety belt and were the first to introduce it as a standard feature in trucks. They also introduced the driver-side airbag and are still the only truck manufacturer to include it as standard in every vehicle we make. Building on this legacy, Volvo has upgraded to standard LED lighting for improved visibility, our standard forward collision warning and mitigation for emergency braking situations, as well as optional seat with side airbag for rollover protection.

VOLVO ACTIVE DRIVER ASIST (VADA): Constant operation while the vehicle is in motion, providing stationary object detection with stationary vehicle braking, which sends audible and visual warnings if a metallic object is detected in front of the truck. Braking assist will be applied—at speeds greater than 15 mph—when the system recognizes the stationary object as a vehicle, independent of whether cruise control is engaged. The driver will receive a warning up to 3.5 seconds before an imminent impact with the vehicle, and, if no action is taken by the driver, Volvo Active Driver Assist will automatically engage the brakes.

We also introduced the driver-side airbag and are still the only truck manufacturer to include it as standard in every vehicle we make. Building on this legacy, Volvo has upgraded to standard LED lighting, and now offers seats with an optional integrated side-impact airbag for rollover protection, as well as a forward collision warning for emergency braking situations.

Volvo’s commitment to safety protects your business by putting the well-being of drivers—your most valuable asset—first. Intelligent design that maximizes comfort and visibility combined with advanced safety technology helps drivers avoid or minimize accidents, keeping them safe while reducing cargo loss, downtime, and accident-related insurance costs.

SAFETY-FORWARD COLLISION WARNING

AN AUDIBLE ALERT AND HEADS-UP WARNING DISPLAY NOTIFIES DRIVERS OF DANGER BEFORE AUTOMATIC BRAKING IS ACTIVATED.

SAFETY-RAIN-SENSING WIPERS

OPTIONAL SENSORS DETECT RAIN AND AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE THE VEHICLE’S WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO LESSEN DISTRACTIONS FOR DRIVERS DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC.
