If there is one thing common among all Volvo cars that its owners can be proud of, it would not be the style, although Volvo cars are as stylish as other cars in the market. Neither would it be the power, although the power produced by Volvo cars can surpass that of many other cars. Volvo has rather been known for safety, although many other car companies have already started catching up with their new car models.
Volvo cars is an automobile manufacturer formerly owned by Volvo, a manufacturer of commercial vehicles, trucks and buses, until 1998 when the automobile division was acquired by Ford to be part of its Premiere Automotive Group. The original company was established in 1927 in Sweden, after breaking away with its former mother company, the SFK, manufacturer of roller ball bearings.
Volvo’s reputation for safety started in the ‘60s, when they used the “safety cage and crumple zones” concept in their cars. The “safety cages” would refer to the strong materials used where passengers would be seated while the “crumple zones” would absorb all of the impact brought by collision. The company has also brought other safety innovations like the three-point seatbelts, padded dashboards, the Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS), and the BLIS system, a sensor system that alerts the driver when a car enters in the vehicle’s blind spot. Although most other cars have already drawn near in safety features and most of these safety features are also now used with other Ford cars, no one can deny that Volvo introduced them first and is worthy of being called the leader in safety innovations.
