Volvo has introduced a new multi-adaptive safety belt, a world-first technology designed to enhance safety in real-world traffic situations.
The new safety belt will debut in the fully electric Volvo EX60 in 2026.
It adapts to traffic variations and the individual wearing it, using real-time data from the car's sensors.
The multi-adaptive safety belt uses data from interior and exterior sensors to customize protection.
Settings are adjusted based on the situation and individual profiles, such as height, weight, body shape, and seating position.
The system expands load-limiting profiles from three to 11.
The system analyzes crash characteristics and selects the most appropriate setting.
The safety belt is designed to continuously improve via over-the-air software updates.
It works with airbags, occupant detection, and driver assistance systems.
