Arbetet har genomförts på Volvo Cars i Torslanda under våren 2019. Vi skulle vilja tacka våra handledare på Volvo Personvagnar, Claes Annerstedt, Thomas Almen, Christer Bergström och vår examinator Göran Gustafsson på Institutionen för industri- och materialvetenskap på Chalmers. SAMMANDRAG Detta projekt har utförts på Volvo Personvagnar, Strategy & Innovations, Vehicle hardware i Torslanda, Göteborg, med målet att ta fram ett underlag för hur en konstruktion av ett biltak för Volvo Personvagnar med ökad takhöjd skulle kunna utföras. Syftet med den ökade takhöjden är att skapa rymlighet i bilkupén genom att öka kupéutrymmet. Syftet är också att öka rörligheten för passagerarna inne i kupén. Volvo Personvagnar önskar att detta förhöjda biltak ska kunna eftermonteras utanför deras befintliga fabrik då höjdrestriktioner omöjliggör sedvanlig montering. De två resulterande koncepten som togs fram under arbetets gång är båda konstruerade i ett kompositmaterial där olika material samarbetar för att ge särskilda egenskaper.

  • Volvola Nouvelle S60
    18 SEPTEMBRE 2019 Année modèle 2020 VOLVOLa nouvelle S60 VOLVOCARS.BE Nous avons voulu que l’interaction avec la toute nouvelle Volvo S60 soit aussi naturelle, intuitive et humaine que possible. Au cœur de cette stratégie se trouve “Sensus”, notre démarche signée Volvo consistant à vous permettre de communiquer instinctivement et de manière unique avec votre véhicule, mais aussi de vous connecter à l’univers numérique. De plus, nous avons doté la nouvelle S60 de la commande vocale pour les fonctions les plus courantes : sélectionnez tout simplement le menu souhaité et adressez-vous à votre nouvelle S60 comme si vous parliez à un humain. Ajoutez-y Volvo On Call, et la connexion entre vous et votre véhicule sera inédite, tout comme le sera celle entre votre véhicule et le monde extérieur. En 1927, nos fondateurs Assar Gabrielsson et Gustaf Larson ont décidé de produire des voitures solides qui soient de taille pour affronter les routes de campagne suédoises. Mais, construire des voitures qui ne soient que robustes, ça ne leur suffisait pas. Ils avaient une vision : « Les voitures sont conduites par des personnes. C’est pourquoi, chez Volvo, le principe directeur derrière tout ce que nous faisons est, et doit rester, la sécurité. » La nouvelle S60 est équipée de série d’un arsenal de technologies de sécurité intuitives. Lors de vos trajets quotidiens, elles vous assistent, elles garantissent votre protection en cas d’accident, mais sur tout, elles permettent d’éviter ou d’atténuer les collisions. Cette approche de la sécurité, nous l’avons baptisée Intelli Safe. Nous savons que les propriétaires de la nouvelle S60 sont des amoureux du volant, mais, sur des routes de plus en plus fréquentées, nul n’est à l’abri des erreurs des autres.

  • Volvo Xc40 Diplom Atic Sal E S
    VOLVO XC40 DIPLOM ATIC SAL E S 29 June 2020 - Recommended prices Model year 2021 VOLVOCARS.BE/.LU We wanted interaction with the Volvo XC40 to be as natural, intuitive and human as possible. At the heart of this strategy is “Sensus”, our consistent Volvo signature approach that allows you to communicate instinctively and in a unique way with your vehicle, as well as connecting to the digital world. We have also equipped the XC40 with voice control for the most common functions: simply select the menu you want and address your XC40 as if you were speaking to a human. Add Volvo On Call for a unique connection between you and your vehicle, and between your vehicle and the world outside. In 1927, our founders Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson decided to produce large, solid cars capable of tackling Sweden’s country roads. But it wasn’t enough for them to produce cars that were simply robust. They had a vision: ‘Cars are driven by people. Which is why at Volvo, the key driver behind everything we do is, and must continue to be, safety.’ The XC40 is fitted as standard with a whole arsenal of intuitive safety technologies. These technologies help you during your everyday journeys, they guarantee to protect you if you’re involved in an accident, but most importantly, they help you to avoid collisions, or at least ensure they are less serious.
