The Ultimate Safety Test

Why Volvo is changing to all-electric

Front collision tests. Side impact test. Offroad flip tests. How about a 100-foot drop from a crane placed in the arctic circle? As the ultimate pioneers in safety, Volvo Cars was determined to take on the Ultimate Safety Test.

It turns out that Volvo Cars is more concerned about a different type of 100-foot drop. The automotive industry accounts for 9% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. To help provide a more sustainable, more safe future for all, Grey helped the inventors of the 3-point safety belt put sustainability at the heart of their brand.
