Back in October 2010, Volvo Car Corporation was and still is rewriting the rulebook on how we will use our cars in the future with its 3CC prototype. From the outside, the Volvo 3CC has an iconic funky-cool tapered shape designed to make a dynamic statement that nonetheless is unmistakably Volvo. Under the hood is an electric powertrain that quietly propels the Volvo 3CC to a governed top speed of over 135 km/h (85 mph) and delivers zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration in approximately ten seconds – with zero emissions! Just 3899 mm (153.5 in.) long, 1624 mm (64 in.) wide and 1321 mm (52 in.) high, the Volvo 3CC has dimensions similar to a classic 2-seater sports car – but that is where similarities end. For the sporty vehicle packs a surprise: a unique two-plus-one configuration, providing seating for two adults in the front and a unique rear seat solution for an additional adult or two children.

Volvo Car Corporation’s work on electrification technology includes a systematic approach to safety issues related to battery power.
The basic perspective is that a battery-powered Volvo must be as safe as any other new Volvo car – when it comes to owning and driving and also in the event of an accident.
“We apply the same high safety standards to all our products but the safety-related challenges may differ depending on the driveline and fuel being used. To us, electrification technology is another exciting challenge in our quest to build the safest cars on the market,” says safety expert Jan Ivarsson, Senior Manager Safety Strategy & Requirements at Volvo Cars.
