A long and strong tradition in road safety


With more vehicles on the road and a faster tempo
of traffic there is a greater risk of accidents. As one
of the world's biggest manufacturers of large buses
and coaches, with a long, strong tradition in road safety,
Volvo has an important role to play in making traffic
environments safer.

Our primary responsibility is to ensure that our
products maintain a high level of safety for drivers,
guides and passengers. But a bus or coach in
traffic is part of a bigger picture.


That is why we also try to improve safety for other road
users, both through our product development and by
sharing knowledge that will help make safer roads, safer
drivers and safer bus stops.

The cornerstones of Volvo Buses' work on safety consist of:
- Active (or Preventive) Safety to avoid accidents
- Passive (or Protective) Safety to reduce injuries
- Security which includes personal and fire safety
