brand value
1936, Gustav Larson, the founder of Volvo, formulated the core brand values based on safety and encouraged all Volvo people to strictly implement them, which has continued to this day.
Seat belt
Everyone has a seat belt in his car. The seat belt was invented by Volvo. 1958, Niels Bolin, an engineer from Volvo, invented the automobile three-point seat belt and applied for a patent for it. 1959? In, Volvo put three-point seat belts as standard configuration on Amazon and PV544 models, becoming the first automobile manufacturer in the world to use three-point seat belts as standard configuration.
Rear child safety seat
The child safety seat is sure that many people will think that it was invented in recent years. In fact, Volvo invented it as early as last century. This design originated from Stapp of 1964? Meeting? At the meeting, it was announced that the proportion of children's heads was the highest, and children were sitting forward. When using traditional seat belts, sudden deceleration impact may cause fractures of children's neck and spine. The backward child seat can effectively slow down the impact force generated by the impact and disperse it to the back and body. At 1967? The first backward child seat came out.
Traffic accident investigation team
As early as 1970, Volvo set up the first traffic accident investigation team in the industry to conduct a detailed investigation of various traffic accidents and add the analyzed data to the vehicle improvement work. At present, more than 40,000 car accidents have been studied in detail. Through the analysis of traffic accidents, we can find the problems of traffic accidents and make improvements when designing vehicles, thus ensuring driving safety.
The first application of airbag
The airbag was not invented by Volvo, but Volvo was definitely one of the earliest brands that used airbags in the automotive field at that time. In fact, the airbag was first put forward by Hetrick in August 1953, and obtained the patent of "automobile buffer safety device" in the United States. It was not until 1982 that airbags were introduced into the automobile field by Volvo. Volvo immediately invented side airbags and airbag curtains to maximize safety protection.
Side impact protection system
At that time, Volvo demonstrated the latest safety technology: SIPS side impact protection system at a 1989 safety seminar. The system can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, and avoid the impact force caused by side collision from hurting passengers.
Head and neck safety protection system
1998, Volvo's S80 is equipped with a new head and neck safety protection system. After thorough testing in the simulated environment, it is found that the head and neck safety protection system can minimize the stress on the dummy's neck and chest when there is a collision accident.
ISOFIX？ Engagement/interface
Volvo Cars was the convener of the child safety working group in the ISO International Standards Organization in the late 1990s. In order to develop the standardized connection structure of children's seats, the ISOFIX connection system developed was open to major automobile manufacturers to choose freely.
Intelligent driving information system
In 2003, Volvo launched the world's first intelligent driving information system IDIS on S40. This is a set of mechanism to judge whether it is necessary to delay the display of mobile phone calls and text messages by collecting information such as steering wheel action, direction light switching and brake pedal action. The following year, Volvo invented a collision warning system with brake assist and automatic braking functions, which was another revolution in automobile safety.
Locking device for drunk driving
2007? In 2006, Volvo introduced the drunk driving locking device, which is the first set of alcohol breath detection device in the automobile industry. The system will require drivers to pass the alcohol test and fasten their seat belts before starting the engine.
City? Safe city safety system
2008? When Volvo developed the city? Safe city security system was born. When the car is about to collide with the vehicle in front and the driver fails to respond in time, the brake will automatically start, effectively reducing or avoiding low-speed rear-end collision.
With full automatic braking
20 10, the pedestrian detection system with automatic braking was born. Half of pedestrian traffic accidents occur when the speed is less than 25 kilometers per hour. When the vehicle speed is less than 35km, if the driver fails to brake in time, the pedestrian detection system with automatic braking function can prevent the car from colliding with pedestrians.
E. Department of Veterans Affairs
On March 20th, 20 19, in order to celebrate the 60th anniversary of three-point seat belts, Volvo Cars officially launched an "E.V.A? Volvo Safety and Equality Initiative.
Since its birth, Volvo has been at the forefront of automobile safety. In recent years, Volvo has also had some problems in vehicle quality, but they have been dealt with and improved in time, giving consumers satisfactory answers. In these 90 years, Volvo has always been at the forefront in the field of automobile safety. This brand spirit of Do not forget your initiative mind is worth learning from all automobile brands.
