Volvo Trucks scores five stars in independent safety test

The Volvo FM and the Volvo FH Aero scored the maximum five stars in Euro NCAP’s first assessment of truck safety who also gave both Volvo models their City Safe award.

“This outstanding result makes me so proud as it confirms Volvo Trucks’ leading position in safety”, says Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks. He continues: “Safety is a core value for us and a cornerstone in our heritage. Safety has been guiding us from the very start of our company – and with every new product launch we are making our trucks even safer.”

Euro NCAP’s five-star rating means that Volvo has shown excellent performance on criteria such as driver support and collision avoidance, delivering traffic safety for the driver and surrounding road users. Additionally, both Volvo models fulfil the so-called City Safe criteria, thanks to good vision and good performance of Volvo’s active safety systems, designed to protect vulnerable road users in city traffic situations.

“This is proof of our consistent efforts in safety developments to go beyond what is required by legislation, towards our vision of zero accidents involving our trucks”, says Anna Wrige Berling, Traffic and Product Safety Director, Volvo Trucks. She continues: “Euro NCAP ratings will guide customers in their purchase decisions as well as challenge vehicle manufacturers to continuously work to improve safety.”
