► Volvo C30 Electric CRASH TEST (new video)

Description

Volvo Cars has spotlighted the important issue of electric car safety in an unusual, but distinctive way. The company is touring the world's motor shows with a Volvo C30 Electric that has undergone a frontal collision test at 64 km/h (40 mph). "Our tests show it is vital to separate the batteries from the electric car's crumple zones to make it as safe as a conventional car. In Detroit we are the first car maker to show the world what a truly safe electric car looks like after a collision with high-speed impact," says Volvo Cars' President and CEO Stefan Jacoby.
