⭐ The Volvo FM astonishes with five stars ⭐ Euro NCAP recently published the first set of results from its pioneering TRUCK SAFE assessment programme. The FM, from the Swedish Volvo, takes the maximum star rating of five stars. It is also awarded the City Safe, a recognition given to trucks that feature technologies or good design that can prevent accidents that typically happen in cities or urban environments. 🚚 After undergoing tests, the FM proves to be an excellent safe choice for a vehicle in the fleet sector. The direct vision is very good, helped by the availability of CMS. Combined with very good assistance systems, this produces a very good Safe Driving score. It achieves a very good score in Collision Avoidance, with every system Euro NCAP assessed being available including automated braking to protect cyclists where trucks turn across their path. 🛣️ "Volvo has achieved the coveted five-star rating and the CitySafe award, highlighting its trucks' exceptional safety both on highways and in urban environments, especially with the FM model. In city use, Volvo Trucks provide outstanding visibility and protection. They earned top scores in safe driving technologies and collision avoidance, excelling in the class-leading turn-across-path scenario. Volvo is setting the standard, proving that a safe truck can also be a profitable one," cites Matthew Avery, Euro NCAP Director of Strategic Development. ⚙️ Know more about its results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e_bzaHU2 🚛 Read the full press release here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eK_tfktT 🚛 Volvo Trucks #protocols #forsafercars #forsafertrucks #devslaw #roadsafety #euroncap #cityandhighway #trucks #trucksafety #safetrucks #heavydutyvehicles #freight #logistics #fleet #HGVs #Nearside #Turn #technologies #truckmakers #forsaferjourneys #commercialfleet #roadauthorities #saferroads #Volvo #FM
