Volvo XC40 Recharge P8 Crash Test Front collision
It is the most extreme crash test ever executed by Volvo Cars, and a crucial one. Extrication specialists often use cars crashed at the Volvo Cars Safety Centre to hone their life-saving skills. To allow rescue services to prepare for any possible crash scenario and to simulate the forces that erupt in the most extreme crashes, beyond what can be simulated with ordinary crash testing, Volvo Cars recently took equally extreme measures. For the first time, it dropped several new Volvos multiple times from a crane, from a height of 30 metres. This approach helped create enough damage to adequately simulate the damage found in the most extreme crash scenarios: think of single-car accidents at very high speed, accidents whereby a car hits a truck at high speed, or accidents whereby a car takes a severe hit from the side.
Volvo is now joining forces with the Swedish sports brand POC: To further improve the safety of cyclists in road traffic, the two companies are now jointly conducting crash tests with cars and bicycle helmets. This unique research project and the partnership with POC are further examples of Volvo's pioneering role in safety development: The Swedish premium car manufacturer wants to improve the safety of all road users - also through cooperation and the provision of in-house research results.

The Volvo XC90 was redesigned for the 2016 model year after a one-year absence from the market. Moderate overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Volvo as part of frontal crash test verification.Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.Restraints and dummy kinematics.Dummy movement was well controlled. The driver side curtain airbag deployed during the crash. After the dummy moved forward into the frontal airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.
