Volvo’s high tech crash test site is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year with the facility in Torslanda Sweden having carried out 3,000 full-scale tests during that time.  Apparently the risks of being injured or involved in an accident in a new Volvo have almost halved since the 1970s and the company wants to be able to live up to its promise that no one should die or be seriously injured in a Volvo by 2020.  When the facility was opened back in 2000 it was one of the most advanced in the industry and it has continued to hold a position at the forefront of safety development.
