Same sentence. Introducing the first Volvo to freely inspire the use of adjectives and superlatives rarely mentioned by those not on the payroll. 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.

  • HLDI Bulletin | Vol 32, No
    Highway Loss Data Institute Bulletin Vol. 32, No. 1 : April 2015 Volvo City Safety loss experience – a long-term update This Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) report updates two prior bulletins on the Volvo City Safety system. Benefits have been consistent across all three reports, and for the first time pooled estimates have been calculated that combine the XC60 and S60 results. This com- bined, or pooled, estimate is the best estimate of a general effect for City Safety. The earlier HLDI studies reported that Volvo XC60 and S60 models with City Safety, a low-speed collision avoidance technology, had lower loss frequencies for property damage liability, bodily injury liability, and collision coverages than similar models without such a system. In the latest study, updated results for the XC60 and S60 confirm that City Safety is reducing losses substantially. Property damage liability loss frequency was estimated to be 14 percent lower for the XC60 than for relevant control vehicles and 15 percent lower for the S60. Collision claim frequencies were reduced by an estimated 21 percent for the XC60 and 12 percent for the S60. Both vehicles also showed reductions in collision claim severity and overall losses for collision and property damage liability. Under bodily injury liability, claim frequency was 28 percent lower for the XC60 and 31 percent lower for the S60. This report also examines the effect City Safety is having on personal injury protection (PIP) and medical payment (MedPay) coverages. Under PIP, claim frequency was 21 percent lower for the XC60 and 23 percent lower for the S60.

Mattias Näsman Student Spring term 2015 Master of Social Science (One Year) in Economic History, 15 credits Advisor: Ann-Kristin Bergquist Examinator: Lena Andersson-Skog Department of Geography and Economic history The image on the front page is a painting made by Sune Envall in 1975, named PV in Stockholm and is in its entirety entitled to him and not to the author of this master thesis. Retrieved from http://www.photowall.se/photo-wallpaper/pv-in-stockholm-1, 18/6 -15. 1 Source: Teknikens värld 02:24. - I don’t even understand how I could’ve owned ‘ordinary’ cars before. Saab is the ride for me. Just look where the ignition is placed. Genius car! - A guy in my position is surely expected to drive an S-class Mercedes. I’ve chosen my own style and prioritize the practical qualities of the XC90. - Many believe that I’m an ordinary corporate fella, but when I’m finished at work I ac- tually put on my leathers and take the Harley for a spin.

Tidigare miljöinriktad forskning inom ekonomisk historia har fokuserat på strukturomvandling och institutionell förändring inom industri- och hushållssektorn. Denna studie utforskar den privata transportsektorn ge- nom att studera Volvo som varit tongivande i att forma sammansättning av den svenska bil- parken.

  • Volvo XC90 Refined Luxury, Unrestricted Pleasure
    Volvo XC90 Refined luxury, unrestricted pleasure. What can be said about the Volvo XC90? That it’s a powerful yet cultured SUV? That it’s as comfortable downtown as it is upstate? That it refines luxury, adds a twist of power and agility and delivers unrestricted pleasure? Whichever way you look at it, this is one thoroughbred Scandinavian that demands a closer look. For a whole host of reasons. Volvo. for life The subtle application of pure strength. The XC90 wouldn’t be the superb SUV it is without a little muscle. But the application of power without discrimination has never been our business, and here, you’ll find no exceptions. Amongst a wealth of outstanding performance enhancing technology you’ll find features such as AWD with Instant Traction™* and six-speed Geartronic transmission with a winter setting. Harmonizing power with subtlety can be a bridge too far for many SUV’s. But with one depression of the accelerator pedal on an XC90, you’ll feel equal parts muscle and grace and instantly enjoy what is surely one of nature’s most potent combinations. *Optional on 3.2 2 Expect more and that’s exactly what you’ll get. As you settle back into the sumptuous leather interior, let the waves of music from the Premium Sound music system wash over you and feel the confident, quiet purr of a masterful engine, we suggest you try this short mental exercise. Look around you. Feel the contentment from your companions. Take a deep breath. Then try to remember what you once called expectations.

  • VOLVO XC90 2 WE're VOLVO CARS We Put People First
    VOLVO XC90 2 WE'RE VOLVO CARS We put people first. We're Swedish. Scandinavian designers always start with the person who's going to use an object and ask, "What can we do to make this person's life better, easier or more comfortable?" We've always used this philosophy when we design our cars. So, while other car manufacturers might start with technology and try to squeeze people in around it, we begin by designing our cars around you. We ask what you need, and then use our technical skills to make your life easier, better, safer and more beautiful. Form follows function, and when you design a car inside and out with people in mind, it looks naturally beautiful. We think that looking at and interacting with our cars should make you feel great, every day. Designing cars around people has led to many innovations over our 90-year history. You know the three-point safety belt in your current car? That was our invention from 1959. And now we're working towards our vision to design cars that should not crash. In the shorter perspective, our aim is that by 2020 nobody should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo. Of course, you'll already benefit from this research in your current Volvo. We've addressed a few environmental issues, too – in 1976, we developed the Lambda Sond – a sensor that monitors exhaust gas, reducing emissions and boosting performance as well as economy. It's still part of every petrol-engined car in the world.
