Finally, we have safety rankings for trucks. A good step in the direction of Vision Zero https://lnkd.in/dWCTzxfe

#VolvoTrucksSA "Globally, more than 1 million people die each year in road accidents. If we are to reduce these numbers, we must consider safety for all road users. So we look at safety from different perspectives: inside as well as outside the truck. This approach enables us to create systems that go beyond what's required by legislation, and guides us towards our vision of zero accidents involving our trucks".

FIVE STARS! ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our best-selling truck models Volvo FH Aero and Volvo FM have been awarded the highest safety rating of five stars by the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). In total, nine trucks from seven brands were tested, and our trucks achieved the best results of all trucks. 🚛 🚚 Both Volvo FH Aero and Volvo FM performed exceptionally well in 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. Volvo is safety and has been so from the start when our founders stated that: "An automobile is driven by people. The guiding principle behind everything we make is, and must remain, safety” 💙  #drivingprogress #volvotrucks #safetymatters  #safety

⭐ The Mercedes-Benz Actros L brings off three stars ⭐ Euro NCAP recently published the first set of results from its pioneering TRUCK SAFE assessment programme. The Actros L, from the German Mercedes-Benz, takes a good star rating of three stars. 🚚 Daimler Trucks declined to provide a vehicle for testing, so Euro NCAP rated a well-specified model first registered in July 2024. According to the manufacturer, it does not reflect the safety performance of their latest generation released later in 2024. The tested Actros L earned a solid rating. Despite being the tallest truck in this sector, its CMS contributes to a strong Safe Driving score. While it offers a good range of crash avoidance technologies, the performance of some features was limited.🛣️ Know more about its results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e29SZggb 🚛 Read the full press release here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eK_tfktT 🚛 Mercedes-Benz Trucks / Daimler Truck AG #protocols #forsafercars #forsafertrucks #devslaw #roadsafety #euroncap #cityandhighway #trucks #trucksafety #safetrucks #heavydutyvehicles #freight #logistics #fleet #HGVs #Nearside #Turn #technologies #truckmakers #forsaferjourneys #commercialfleet #roadauthorities #saferroads #MercedesBenz #ActrosL

Safety is in our DNA!

⭐ 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
