MILAN (ITALPRESS) – The Volvo FM and Volvo FH Aero have been awarded the maximum five stars in Euro NCAP’s first truck safety assessment, which also awarded both Volvo models the “City Safe” award. “This outstanding result makes me very proud because it confirms Volvo Trucks’ leading position in the field of safety,” says Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks. He continues: “Safety is a core value for us and a cornerstone of our heritage. Safety has guided us since the beginning of our company, and with each new product launch we make our trucks even safer. “The five stars from Euro NCAP mean that Volvo has demonstrated excellent performance on criteria such as driver support and collision avoidance, ensuring traffic safety for the driver and surrounding road users. In addition, both Volvo models meet the so-called City Safe criteria, thanks to the good visibility and performance of Volvo’s active safety systems, which are designed to protect vulnerable road users in city traffic situations. “This is proof of our ongoing efforts in safety development to go beyond what is required by legislation, toward our Vision of Zero Accidents with our trucks,” says Anna Wrige Berling, Traffic and Product Safety Director at Volvo Trucks. She continues: “Euro NCAP ratings guide customers in their purchasing decisions and challenge vehicle manufacturers to continuously work to improve safety.”
