World Class Safety
Volvo holds a world class position in vehicle safety. The purpose of Volvo's work on safety is partly to prevent accidents and partly to minimise the consequences if an accident is inevitable. The most important preventive safety measures include good driving characteristics, good road-holding and good braking performance. By equipping the buses with reinforced bodies, safety belts and protective interiors, the risk of injury to passengers in a collision is reduced.

The cornerstones of Volvo División Autobuses work on safety consist of driving (active), collision (passive) and fire safety. Buses are one of the safest forms of transport available. Several attitude surveys have also shown that customers rank Volvo buses highly in terms of safety.
