it's great how Volvo cares to peolpe, but if you see, only at 30 kph, the driver legs had been destroid, and the steering well can cut the throat

It looks very dramatic on the film.

The drivers left foot had some bones broken, no other injuries.

The speed corresponds to 50kph in real life.

Thats fine, however a trailer can weigh up to a further 20,000 Kg's.

So that truck might way 10, and be badly damaged. So I am sure that 20,010 Kg's would cause some serious damage. Anyone agree?

@mindinsertion european reglementation is 40 to 45t truck and trailer included

@wengil494 thats why you always needs a bonnet with an engine underneath it. A reason why many 'flat front' vans do badly in crashes as well. There is practically nothing between the driver and the object being hit

realmente caminhoes frontal e dificil ter segurança do seu condutor mas a volvo investe em segurança dos condutores de seus veiculos .

pongan una international prostar vs una volvo de esas y cambiaran los resultados

@looncraz only with the volvo engine, theres a reason nobody has them, almost all use the cummins, and dont have the problems

[looncraz]

@wtfmanicanthaveaname It is odd you would have such problems with a Volvo truck. I know a few truck drivers and they all swear by Volvo trucks. Well, one hates them and prefers Peterbuilt, he just doesn't like Swedes though, for some reason....
