It is described as the toughest crash test ever conducted by Volvo Cars. Search and rescue teams are working to remove the victims quickly and safely from these cars that were thrown down 30 meters.
Volvo, the first car brand that comes to mind when it comes to safety, has achieved a crash test worthy of its name. The brand has recently taken measures to ensure that its rescue services are ready for any crash scenarios, go beyond ordinary crash tests and experience the consequences of even the worst crashes. He dropped several new Volvos for the first time from a 30-meter-high crane.
This approach helped create damage to cars similar to those that could be encountered in the worst crash scenarios, think very high-speed auto accidents, crashes in which a car hits a truck at high speed, or crashes in which a car is hit hard from the side.
In such situations, the situation of the people inside the car may be critical. Therefore, the priority is to get people out of the car as quickly as possible and transport them to a hospital by using hydraulic rescue tools known as 'life jaws' in the industry. Rescue experts often talk about the golden hour: The casualty must be taken to the hospital within one hour of the accident, at the latest.
“We have been working very closely with Swedish rescue services for years,” said Håkan Gustafson, a senior researcher on the Volvo Cars Traffic Accident Research Team. Our goal is the same: roads are safer for everyone. We hope no very serious accident happens to anyone. However, it is not possible to prevent all accidents. Therefore, when a very serious accident occurs, it is very important that we have methods to help save lives. " said.
