With a combination of good driving characteristics, good road-holding, effective brakes and a good driver's environment, the driver is able to relax and work efficiently and safely. An ergonomically designed workplace with a high level of comfort, correctly positioned controls and instruments, a pleasant climate and a good view means that the driver can remain vigilant and alert throughout his shift. Volvo also offers comprehensive driver training courses so that the driver can handle his vehicle safely.
In order to minimise the consequences if an accident is inevitable despite everything, Volvo buses are designed to minimise the risk of injury to driver, guide and passengers.
