Overview

• Volvo invented the three-point seatbelt in 1959 and now leverages real-time data to boost protection.
• The belt integrates interior, exterior and crash sensors to analyze crash direction, speed and passenger posture within milliseconds.
• It expands load-limiting profiles from three to eleven to enable more granular force adjustments for differing crash severities.
• Belt tension adjusts to occupant height, weight, body shape and seating position to reduce head trauma for larger passengers and rib damage for smaller ones.
• The feature will debut on the all-electric EX60 SUV in 2026 and support over-the-air updates to refine performance over time.
