Protecting what's important
Connected, active and passive protection

Our vision is that no one should be seriously injured or killed in a new Volvo.
Since 1927, when the founders of Volvo Cars decided to focus on safety as one of the core values of the company, we have been a leader in the field. That will never change. What will change is the breadth of technologies we employ to improve your driving experience and safety.
