A car with a birdcage structure
1944, Volvo introduced the model PV444, which caused quite a stir at that time. The car adopts the concept of safety carriage cage for the first time, and the body and chassis are integrally formed, which will not separate even if it is hit hard. In addition, this car also introduced a stronger and more shatterproof laminated glass. These two passive safety technologies have greatly improved the safety of vehicles and have been used ever since.
Second, three-point seat belts.
It is an indisputable fact that every car is equipped with a seat belt. This is a familiar security configuration. As early as 1958, Volvo invented the three-point seat belt configuration and applied it to the models at that time, and then it spread to all brands. Don't look at this small configuration, it has saved countless lives. Many people don't like wearing seat belts when driving, which is not a good habit.
Third, the rear-facing child safety seat.
1964, the backward child safety seat came out. Why is it designed to sit backwards? Because children's head accounts for a large proportion of the whole body weight, even with the protection of seat belts, the cervical spine is easy to be injured when the force slows down. Therefore, the rear child seat can well offset this part of the impact. The invention is designed with reference to the seat of the space shuttle. In addition, the ISOFIX child seat interface on everyone's car was also developed by Volvo ISO International.
Fourth, airbags.
Airbag is also one of the most common passive safety configurations in automobiles. In fact, the airbag was not invented by Volvo, but was first applied to automobiles by Volvo in 1982, which is unprecedented. It protects the passengers in the car to a great extent.
Five, blind area monitoring system
At present, most of the cars with busy spot detection system are mid-to high-end models, or appear on high-end models of some cars. Many people think this is a high-tech configuration. But in fact, as early as 2003, Volvo has been applied to cars. People often ignore the blind spot of vehicles when changing lanes. At this time, if there is a car in the blind area, it is easy to be dangerous. With this system, drivers can get polar help.
Intransitive verb urban security system
In 2008, Volvo invented a company called City? Safety's urban safety system can help the vehicle to brake when the rear-end collision is about to happen. The driver has not taken the brake yet, which can avoid the collision accident or reduce the loss caused by the accident to some extent. In 20 10, Volvo introduced a pedestrian identification system, which monitors pedestrians on the road through the radar and camera on the car, helps the main driver to brake when a collision is about to occur, and reduces the casualty rate of pedestrians.
Volvo has announced that it will achieve zero major casualties of Volvo cars by 2020. Although people still feel a little crazy, Volvo has been working hard for car safety, hoping that future cars can pay attention to safety like Volvo and make people's travel safer.
