We know child safety

Improving child safety in our cars has long been a guiding principle at Volvo. We played a key role in the development of rearward-facing child seats and we introduced the world’s first booster cushion in 1978. Today we continue to innovate, using our knowledge and expertise to build the safest cars. It forms a vital part of our vision that, by 2020, no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car. We call this Vision 2020.

Protecting what’s important – your children

You want to give your children the best possible protection in your car, and so do we. Discover how our decades of experience, particularly in the use of rear-facing child seats, help you keep the people you care about safe.

Environment

A Volvo is for life

The environment is something all car manufacturers now think about. In 1983, however, it was a different story. So, when we released the LCP 2000, a concept car designed with the good of the planet in mind, it raised a few eyebrows. Now, more than thirty years later, our commitment to the environment is stronger than ever.

Heritage

Volvo Cars’ safety: a proud heritage

The safety vision that nobody will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car by 2020 is the result of a dedication to saving lives that has been passed on from generation to generation of Volvo people since the company was founded in 1927.
