Euro NCAP awards C40 with five-star rating
Our fully electric C40 Recharge has been awarded top marks in the 2022 Euro NCAP tests, meaning that like the rest of its siblings, it’s officially one of the safest cars on the road.
Volvo Cars has committed to all-out electrification and aims to sell only pure electric cars by 2030.
The Euro NCAP is a European-based rating system to help consumers choose the safest cars possible. The rating measures car safety through a series of tests that aim to replicate real-life accident scenarios.
“We always aim to be a leader in safety,” says Malin Ekholm, head of our safety centre. “That means we adhere to the strictest safety standards in all of our cars, many of which we helped establish over time.”y
Every car we create should be even safer than the last, and our upcoming generation of pure electric cars is no different. They will come standard with state-of-the-art LiDAR sensors from Luminar to keep an eye out on the road ahead (and around, and behind) and ensure that the car can ‘see’ and react to obstacles with even greater precision.
“We always aim to be a leader in safety,” says Malin Ekholm, head of our safety centre.
This is on top of our already-standard automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection systems, all of which are tested both in reality and virtually at our safety centre.
