Swedish Construtora’s new electric Volvo will have multi-adaptive safety belts, designed to optimize for different collision conditions, body types and even driving posture. Forget the 3 -point seat belt – the new belt has no less than 11.
The electric Volvo Ex60 2026 will be the first model of the Swedish manufacturer to present its new “seat belts multi-adaptatives“.
This new generation seat belt is designed to protect more effectively in the event of an accident, with a quick data transfer of imminent collision from external and internal sensors, optimized For all kinds of details – from impact speed to posture during driving.
Modern security belts are more complex From what they appear-it’s not just a fabric tape to arrest us to the seat, explains The Drive.
In any car, the pretensors tighten each other during an extreme slowdown, and the load limiters release tension tactically to prevent the belt from causing injuries.
In most manufactured cars In the last two decadescollision sensors communicate with airbags and speed sensors to operate load limiter force adjustments.
In 1959, the mechanical engineer of Nils Bohlin invented the three -point belt Volvo, now omnipresent in the automotive industry – and it is estimated that it may have saved the life of one million people since its introduction.

At the time, the company Swedes the function of the belt: “prevents effectively It is physiologically favorable that the body of the person arrested projected forward. ”The patent was made available to the public, and basically all car manufacturers eventually adopted it.
Volvo now intends to take this same mission further with the new multi-adaptive belt and the systematization of safety equipment.
Based on the idea of pretensors and load limiters, the ex60 belts will integrate a immense amount of information – About the vehicle and the passenger – to more effectively protect those in the banks.
From abroad, they are considered to Vehicle steering and speed. Inland, the Ex60 will include the height, weight and even passenger posture to calculate the best way to hold their occupants.
“For example, a larger occupant in a serious collision will receive a belt load configuration higher to help reduce the risk Of head injuries, while a smaller occupant in a lighter collision will receive a lower belt load configuration to reduce the risk of rib fractures, ”explains Volvo in the new belt.
While Volvo’s traditional seat belt has three different load limitation profiles, This new configuration has 11 profiles – Which gives you much more accurately in the protection of passengers in a collision, says the Swedish manufacturer.
Safety belts are Something we never think until the day really need them. And if it ever happens, we want to have the smartest seat belt ever projected.
