Volvo Bumpers

Established in Sweden in 1927, Volvo Cars has been developing quality cars that are equipped with luxury features, performance engines, and environment friendly parts. This had made Volvo very popular throughout the world. Aside from these, one of the company's epitomes is to create safe vehicles. This is the reason why every Volvo has tons of safety features guaranteed to protect the passengers on board.

The most significant step towards their goal came in the early years of 1950s when Volvo developed and used laminated glass in the PV model as an initial step towards their goal. The PV series was among the first to have the "safe body" or what is now called a unibody. They have also developed 'safety cage' and crumple zones. The safety cage' that imitates fighter plane capsules while the crumple zones tend to minimize the amount of impact to the passengers by distributing the impact to the hood of the vehicle while increasing the amount of time it takes the car to come to a complete stop in comparison to object the car hits.

By 1970s, the federal government developed safety standards that all vehicles are require to meet 5 mph impact-test requirements. This is with regards to the front and rear bumpers. Volvo, with their established reputation to commit themselves by making safe cars easily passed the requirements. By the eighties, the requirement was lowered down from 5 to 2.5 mph.

But the reduction to the safety requirement does not affect the production of safe and reliable Volvo cars. Volvo continuously produced good vehicle until today making the heritage lives after almost eight decades of car manufacturing.
