protect more than the fun of driving.
Across the world, Volvo equals safety. And that comes with good reason, because
few carmakers can match our record of safety innovations and the commitment
for safety that has guided us for more than 80 years. Of course, this makes us
extremely proud. But we're not satisfied. Because we know what we want to achieve:
zero accidents. This huge task calls for innovative thinking and a brand new approach
to the way we design cars. Good news is we've already come a long way. For starters,
our cars are more fun and engaging to drive than ever (because a bored driver
will never be a safe driver). Neither is the technology needed any figment of the
imagination – some is already available in your Volvo. This means driving a Volvo
today is like having a first peek at a very exciting automotive future – a future where
passionate engineering and design do more to help you get the most out of life.
After all, there's more to life than a Volvo.
