Safety is a word with a good sound. Experiencing driving pleasure while feeling secure in the knowledge that you and the traffic around you are travelling safely is becoming ever more important in the heavy traffic that we encounter everyday. Hans Nyth was recently appointed manager of the Volvo Cars Safety Centre and is proud of Volvo Cars' work with safety.
His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent has awarded Volvo Cars a special international award(1) to mark the 50th Anniversary of the invention of the three-point safety belt and in acknowledgement of the company's vision to design cars that should not crash.
Volvo Cars' crash-test laboratory in Torslanda turns 10 this year - and the almost 3,000 full-scale tests that have been carried out during the high-tech facility's first decade have helped give Volvo owners even safer cars.
