Volvo is enhancing automobile safety with an innovative, personalized seatbelt system. Originally patenting the three-point seatbelt in the 1960s, the Swedish automaker is now tailoring seatbelt tension to individual passengers. This advancement aims for optimal protection by considering personal attributes like weight, height, and posture, marking a significant evolution in automotive safety.
Volvo’s next-gen seatbelt technology employs advanced sensors to adjust belt tension according to individual needs. Heavier or taller passengers require stronger tension to minimize head injury risk in a collision. Conversely, lighter individuals or children benefit from reduced pre-tension to decrease the chance of chest injuries.
The new seatbelt system expands the tension profiles from three to eleven tailored options. In an accident, the system customizes the tension for each seatbelt-wearing passenger, ensuring maximum protection. Continuous software updates will further refine this adaptive technology over time.
Volvo’s electric crossover, the EX60, will be the first model featuring this cutting-edge seatbelt system. Scheduled for release next year, the EX60 represents a significant step forward in safety innovation, aligning with Volvo’s commitment to reducing injuries and fatalities on the road.
