A master- work of automotive design, the all-new Volvo S60 is so beautiful, we suppose pedestrians could be stunned when they first see it. But make no mistake; this is a driver’s car. It moves like no Volvo before. Too sexy to be the safest car ever? We can live with that. 1 S60_MY12_US.indd 1 2010-12-07 14.01 Information Provided by: 2 S60_MY12_US.indd 2 2010-12-07 14.01 Information Provided by: Downright shameless with the affection it shows for curves. Who knew an anti-skid system could be so pro-fun? The advanced chassis developed for the all-new Volvo S60 makes it clear: this is no ordinary Volvo. And utilizing new innovative technology, we have further refined Volvo’s stability enhancing DSTC system to help drivers better realize their intentions – with more assertion, efficiency and dare we say, more pure driving enjoyment. Advanced Stability Control, for example, is a new function that monitors the car’s behavior with high precision to further enhance stability in sharp cornering and rapid lateral movements. Corner traction control through Torque Vectoring is another new feature that helps reduce understeer in fast bends. It also improves acceleration when trying to get up-to-speed while merging with faster moving traffic on a main road.

  • Ringhalsveteranernas Höstresa Till Volvo Och Operan I Göteborg. Dagens Program Besök På Volvo Museum
    Ringhalsveteranerna Höstresan 2015-09-09 Sidan 1av 4 Ringhalsveteranernas höstresa till Volvo och operan i Göteborg. Till årets höstresa hade 44 deltagare anmält sitt intresse, varav 37 Veteraner och 8 respektive. Bussresan startade kl. 07,30 från järnvägsstationen i Varberg och sedan vidare mot Göteborg via Bua, Frillesås, Kungsbacka och Mölndal där de sista deltagarna hämtades upp. Resan arrangerades av S&S Resor i Falkenberg med den påläste guiden och reseledare Henric Bulten. Henric gav oss alla en synnerligen omfattande bakgrund om alla de platser och händelser som genom åren har inträffat på alla de platser vi passerade med vår buss. Dagens program Dagens program började med en god frukostmacka och en mugg med kaffe på Hotell Scandic i Mölndal. Därefter ett besök på Volvos museum i Arendal på Hisingen. Sedan ett besök på Göteborgs Operan för lunch innan en guidad rundtur ”bakom scenen” i Operahuset. En snabbis till Ramberget och utsikten över Göteborg blev plötsligt inplanerad då vi hade gott om tid innan rundturen med ”Blå tåget” på Volvos bilfabrik skulle starta. Volvo (Jag rullar än!) År 1924 bestämde sig de två grundarna Gustaf Larson och Assar Gabrielsson, för att konstruera en svensk bil. Det officiella datumet för Volvos grundande är den 14 april 1927, då den första bilen lämnade monteringslinjen i fabriken på Hisingen i Göteborg. Besök på Volvo museum Ett besök på Volvo museum är en riktig nostalgitripp för alla oss som har hunnit upp i pensionsåldern! Alla de gamla välkända och okända Volvo bilarna fanns uppställda på muséet. Volvo museum invigdes 1995 och drivs gemensamt av AB Volvo och Volvo Cars.

Geographical aspects of changing strategies in automotive subcontracting relationships: the case of domestic suppliers to Volvo Torslanda assembly plant. Department of Human and Economic Geography, School of Economics and Commercial Law, University of Gšteborg. Series B, No 97. 285 pages. ISBN 91Ð86472Ð33ÐX. This study analyses the significance of geographical proximity in the restructuring process of a domestic subcontractor system in the Swedish automotive industry, using the Volvo Torslanda assembly plant as a case. The focus is on: i) the organisation of buyer-subcontractor relationships, ii) time-related delivery strategies, iii) the significance of geographical proximity. The findings provide an empirical contribution to the general understanding of the geographical buyer- subcontractor relationships in the automotive industry. The case covers the development of the domestic subcontractor system in the 1990's and is subdivided into three parts: i) the 40 most important domestic subcontractors in 1996/97, ii) the development of the Arendal supplier-park project 1997-1998, and iii) an analysis of Hydro- Raufoss Automotive Plastics AB, a Norwegian subcontractor, 1993-1998.

  • Characteristics of Anti-Whiplash Seat Designs with Good Rear-Life
    CHARACTERISTICS OF ANTI-WHIPLASH SEAT DESIGNS WITH GOOD REAL-LIFE PERFORMANCE Ola Bostrom*, Anders Kullgren** *Autoliv Research, Sweden **Folksam and Karolinska Institutet, Sweden ABSTRACT In the last 10 years car seats have been specifically designed to mitigate short and long-term neck injuries caused by rear end impacts. During this period of time, anti-whiplash seat ratings also have been introduced. Recent research have shown rating methods to correlate to real-life performance. The objective of this study was to describe possible characteristics of real-life good performing anti- whiplash seat designs. To meet the objective, first a real-life data analysis was performed. In total 1111 Folksam and 2630 police reported injuries between 1998 and 2006 were included. As a result, the redesign of the Saab, Volvo and Toyota seats in the late 90s showed a 50-70% reduction in risk of whiplash symptoms for more than 1 month. Secondly, a rating test series with Saab, Volvo and Toyota seats before and after the anti-whiplash redesign were performed. Also, published rating performances of seats with these designs were analyzed. As a conclusion, possible characteristics of good performing seats were good performance in dynamic rating tests, especially for the low and medium severity pulses, through designs aimed at reducing head-to-head restraint distance and yielding/energy absorption of the seat. Keywords: Disabled, Neck, Rear impacts, Seats, Whiplash Long-term neck injuries caused by rear-end impacts have been an issue since the first car seat was designed. According to Krafft (1998) the risk of injury was doubled in car models from 90s compared to 80s.
