In order to allow the emergency services to prepare for extraordinary scenarios by simulating the forces at play during extreme collisions, even more violent than those simulated during a conventional crash test, Volvo Cars dropped several new cars from the top. a 30-meter crane.
This made it possible to simulate the damage observed in an accident involving a single vehicle launched at very high speed, in a high-speed collision between a car and a truck, or even in a severe side impact inflicted on a vehicle. tourism vehicle.
In such circumstances, the lives of vehicle occupants sometimes hang by a thread.
The priority, therefore, to get them to the hospital as quickly as possible, is to extract them using hydraulic extrication devices, also called “jaws of survival” in the jargon.
Extrication experts often use the term “golden hour” to refer to the time available from the time of the accident to extricate victims and bring them to the hospital.

All the results of the crash tests as well as those of the subsequent extrication exercises carried out by Volvo Cars will be compiled into a comprehensive research report, which will be made available to rescuers in other countries to use its content to improve their skills. ability to save lives.
