Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) previously conducted its first crash tests of several convertibles. After meticulous crash tests, the institute awarded the Volvo C70 as one of its "Top Safety Picks .'
"For more than 80 years, Volvo has built cars with safety in mind," said Anne Belec, president and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America. "We are extremely pleased to have done very well institute a testing program. From the very beginning of our modern convertible program, our goal was to bring advanced technology and engineering skills into this flagship vehicle ."
Volvo C70 arrived in the U.S. last year. Since its inception, the car has etched a good name in terms of safety and comfort. In addition to traditional auto parts such as Volvo spoiler, pool Volvo engineers equipped the car with the number of security features. These features include inflatable curtains, Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS), pretensioned seat belts, roll over protection system (ROPS), as well as the use of multiple types of čelika.Napuhavanje curtain is designed for side impact protection. "As there is no roof members that the curtain can be attached is mounted on the door," said Skogsmo. "When activated is directed upwards ."
curtain gave an extra stiff construction with double rows strips that are slightly offset from each other. This was done to enable the feature to keep an upright position to offer superior head protection even when the car window was left open. Also, the curtain deflates slowly to provide protection should the car overturn. This feature is considered a unique solution in the automotive world.
WHIPS is also integrated into the car to avoid neck injuries. WHIPS to offer maximum protection especially in the case of strong impact from the rear backrests and headrests in the front seat to monitor the movement of the body.
C70 All four seats feature pyrotechnically pretensioned seat belts with a spool-out funkciju.Značajka will help curb the users at the same time control forward acceleration of the car passengers.
ROPS popup bars are also pushed upwards in order to protect occupants in a collision straga.Cilj a request to reduce the risk of passengers being hit by flying objects from the car behind.
car will share the S40 is a type of steel to control the impact energy in a collision. According to the Swedish automaker, Volvo C70 has a unique front energy absorbing structure that uses three additional grades of steel other than regular bodywork steel. Additional grades include high-strength steel, extra high strength steel and ultra high strength steel. When the combination of different structural elements, the car retains the excellent low and high strain rate. This is proven by the Institute's frontal crash test.
Volvo C70 Convertible first arrived in 1998 with an impressive array of safety systems. It was the first to use ultra-high strength steels (UHSS) to strengthen selected structural elements. UHSS later migrate into the XC90 SUV and the subsequent vehicles. "We have found this material would be very hard, fatigue resistant and added protection without adding significant weight of the vehicle," said Ingrid Skogsmo, Director of Safety, Volvo Car Corporation.
In addition, the C70 is designed to offer effective protection in a collision straga.Stražnje longitudinal auto parts deform in a controlled manner. They are connected with the body of the thresholds for the dispensing of collision forces forward into the car body.
