A safe citizen
Into, around and between urban areas – the Volvo FE moves smooth and safely. Take a closer look at what makes the Volvo FE such a safety aware citizen and working companion.
We know what's going on out there. We know what accidents look like. That's why we do so many extra tests that are not called for by legislation.Traffic & Product Safety Director, Volvo Trucks
What makes the Volvo FE safer?(6)
Collision Warning with Emergency Brake
If there’s a risk of colliding with a vehicle or another object, warning lights alert you. If an impact is imminent, the automatic emergency brake quickly comes to your assistance.
Lane Keeping Support
Stay in your lane with a system that tracks road markings with a camera. When it looks like you’re straying over them, you will be alerted.
ESC
Stay in control at all times with the Electronic Stability Control. It uses engine power and individual wheel brakes to reduce the risk of skidding and rollover.
I-Shift
I-Shift makes driving safer by timing each gear change perfectly. There’s no heavy clutch, and no stick to wrestle with. The simplicity of the system reduces driver fatigue and ups focus, helping you to concentrate on the road and the traffic around you.
Safe drivers
Drivers that are trained have the skills to work efficiently without compromising on safety. Volvo Trucks driver training programmes give drivers the tools to do just that.
Testing
Swedish cab strength test. Barrier test. Roll-over test. Sled test. Head impact test. The Volvo FE has passed them all. And the tests are thorough – with the interior fittings in place and full storage compartments. We know that this is among the safest trucks on the market.
Integrated seatbelt
Using seatbelts could avoid around half of all fatalities in trucks – think about that the next time you get in the truck. In the Volvo FE, they are integrated in the seats.
