WHEN discussing a commitment to safety, Volvo quickly comes into mind. Since its introduction in the Philippines in 1994, Volvo has consistently demonstrated unwavering dedication to safety through innovations like airbags, anti-locking braking system, and traction control.

The brand even amazed audiences with stunt shows featuring boxy cars performing daring two-wheel feats, showcasing the exceptional stability and handling of their vehicles. However, perhaps Volvo's most iconic safety contribution was the invention of the 3-point safety belt in 1959, a technology that remains in use today and was generously shared with the world, prioritizing human lives over corporate profits.Now, Volvo is taking its commitment to safety one step further by addressing a broader safety concern: the environment. The recent launch of two fully electric vehicles, the C40 and XC40 Recharge, exemplifies Volvo's dedication to sustainability. These new models are designed not only to combat pollution but also to navigate the notorious traffic challenges of Metro Manila.
