Our Safety Center Celebrates Saving Lives

Volvo Safety Center
10 years ago we moved from a very cramped, limited ‘real world’ crash testing facility to one that no one could top. One key feature was a movable track that rides on an air cushion, which can duplicate just about any kind of impacting angle where two vehicles could meet at varying speeds. No one had that kind of capability. While removing earth from this movable track area, workers found stone tools and artifacts from very early Swedes. For many years they were on display, which is kind of ironic that we saved something from past lives to help future lives.
