00:00This time, we're talking about Volvo Trucks' impressive safety demonstration,
00:05which uses a real rollover test to demonstrate just how seriously the company takes driver safety.
00:12Unlike many manufacturers who rely on digital simulations,
00:16Volvo tests its semi-trailer trucks, such as the VNL and the all-electric VN Electric,
00:21under real conditions with full force.
00:23In one of the most spectacular tests, the driver's cab is deliberately tilted
00:30to demonstrate how well seatbelts protect airbags and the body structure in an emergency.
00:37The difference between seatbelt-fastened and unbelted dummies is particularly impressive,
00:42which makes the life-saving effect of seatbelts abundantly clear.
00:47There is another safety aspect, especially in the case of electrically-powered trucks
00:52such as the VN Electric.
00:54The battery is automatically switched off in the event of a rollover.
00:59This reliably prevents the risk of electrical fires or electric shocks.
01:05The cabs are made of high-strength steel and are designed with special frame outlets
01:09that divert energy away from the driver's area in the event of an impact
01:12and keep the engine and transmission at a distance.
01:17Side airbags in the form of head protection curtains are also crucial,
01:20as they provide particularly effective protection against injuries in the event of a rollover.
01:26In addition to these passive protective measures,
01:29Volvo also relies on modern active safety systems.
01:33The so-called Volvo Active Driver Assist system includes, among other things,
01:38lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control,
01:40and collision avoidance with automatic braking.
01:42Should an accident nevertheless occur,
01:47an automatic emergency call system ensures that emergency services are notified immediately.
01:52At the same time, the hazard warning lights are activated,
01:56the engine is switched off and the parking brake is applied.
01:58With this test, Volvo makes it clear that safety is not an option for the company,
02:05but a fundamental principle with the aim of saving lives before it is too late.
02:08It's the ăŻă!
