Winning can inherit the mantle of the safety of the Volvo S80?

Perhaps, for the Volvo for China is that it can smooth the development of a pure land. Although sales of less than Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volvo, but the safety of long-term business performance, creating the image, but consensus by domestic consumers. So, at the Shanghai auto show, Volvo can not wait to launch home-made S80L, in order to achieve in the domestic market has a bright future.

Mentioned that Volvo will naturally think of its owner - Ford. Acquisition of Volvo, so Ford can not only into the more lucrative luxury car market, Ford's models also allow security to be essentially on the corporate ladder, such as the Ford Mondeo cars headed winning, so we will be winning body find many traces of Volvo safety technology.

Although the location is different from Taiwan, a platform for two cars there are some quite similar to

So as a Ford Mondeo cars winning flagship models, Volvo S80 whether inherited the mantle and become the new benchmark for vehicle safety then? Here we try to look at from all aspects to carry out analysis:

Volvo S80 and Mondeo - winning both derived from the joint development of Ford Europe, Volvo and the EUCD platform. The wheelbase is a winning 2850MM, while the Volvo S80 as 2835MM, you know, the same platform to create a wheelbase models are often a closer comparison. So, to say the reason why the winning chassis, excellent credit can not be ignored Volvo technology. The importance of the chassis for a car, it is a self-evident, both high-speed cornering or braking emergency stop, success can give the driver more confidence and greater security, which is the other same level models can not match the advantages of the office.

In addition, the Mondeo - success in the bumper, AB column and other parts of a large number of applications of boron steel material. As inclusion of boron element and a special hot forming technology, the strength boron steel material of steel up to 5 times normal. In fact, boron steel is the raw material earlier nuclear submarine, and later on the application of this technology to the automotive manufacturers, such as Ferrari, Volvo cars and so on, but due to price factors, is difficult to reach the ordinary family car.

The hardness of boron steel material is about 5 times the normal steel

In addition, the success of laser welding technology using the German seamless, whether it is static or dynamic stiffness rigidity than spot welding technology must be increased by 50%, so the whole body strength of a higher security and better, and reduce the traffic noise in the process of and vibration, improved ride comfort. This is the so-called "excel rather than blue" bar.

While the luxury of electronic devices Mondeo - winning the Volvo S80 is also unable to meet the extent of, such as Volvo cars in reversing the sound will automatically reduce the volume of sound, so that drivers are more focused on reversing radar tips, but the material from the body in the end plate technology, from laser-welded to the brake performance, and the Volvo S80 platform, winning a total of almost have ultra-high transmission of the Volvo S80 mantle of safety performance, while almost the size of the C-Class, Let success become the benchmark for senior car security model is not surprising.
