"Our vision is that by 2020 no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car."
HÃ¥kan Samuelsson, President and CEO, Volvo Cars
At Volvo Cars, we don't accept that globally 1.3 million people should die every year in road traffic accidents. Vision 2020 is our way of creating
more sustainable personal transport. It's a key element in our
sustainability framework, which outlines how our company protects people and the world around us, both now and in the future.

Our founders said: "Cars are driven by people - the guiding principle behind everything we make at Volvo, therefore, is and must remain safety." Those values remain intact, and in 2008 we set out our vision that by 2020 nobody should be seriously injured or killed in a new Volvo car. |
