Overview

• The multi-adaptive safety belt expands load-limiting profiles from three to 11 to tailor force depending on passenger height, weight and crash severity.
• Interior and exterior sensors feed real-time data on speed, angle, posture and occupant characteristics to adjust belt tension within milliseconds.
• Built on five decades of research and data from 80,000 crash survivors, the system works in concert with airbags and advanced driver assistance systems to reduce injury.
• Over-the-air software updates enable Volvo to refine load profiles as more crash data and insights become available.
• The innovation will first appear in the all-electric EX60 SUV in 2026 as part of Volvo’s ongoing commitment to automotive safety.
