Volvo is launching a new smart seat belt, which will be introduced in the electric EX60 crossover next year.
This seat belt was developed to enhance occupant protection by automatically adjusting to each person’s body using internal sensors that capture data such as height, weight, body shape, and seat position. In the event of an accident, the system responds quickly, selecting the best configuration to reduce the risk of injury.
In addition, the belt is equipped with advanced technology, including artificial intelligence, which analyzes traffic conditions and the type of impact to dynamically adjust protection.
The system can also receive remote software updates — a first for a seat belt — allowing continuous improvements without the need for physical intervention in the vehicle. Compared to previous models, the new belt offers a greater number of automatic adjustments, increasing safety for different body types.
Volvo, with a solid history of safety innovation, remains firm in its goal of eliminating traffic fatalities. Therefore, the expectation is that this technology will be expanded to most of the brand’s vehicles in the coming years, becoming a standard feature in its lineup. The partnership with the German company ZF further reinforces the quality and sophistication of the system, which represents a major advancement in occupant protection.
