    DESCRIPTION:
    WHY SAFETY SELLS IN SWEDEN.
    Of all motorized countries, Sweden has the best safety record.
    Before a Swede can get a driver's license, he not only has to pass a complicated driving test, but also a comprehensive medical examination.
    Cars are subject to spot inspections at any time. Cars found unsafe are taken off the road.
    Swedish road signs go to extremes. A thorough system of descriptive signs stretches from the middle of big cities to the middle of nowhere. The sign in the picture, for example, warns that the road dead-ends at a ferry dock.
    Obviously, Swedes are deeply committed to traffic safety. And they carry their commitment with them when they buy a car.
    This is one of the reasons Volvo comes equipped with four-wheel power disc brakes.
    Volvo is the only car in the world with a dual braking system that has three wheels on each circuit. If one circuit fails, you still have 80% of your braking power.
    Volvo was the first mass produced car to come equipped with three-point seat belts.
    Volvo, you see, didn't get to be the largest selling car in Sweden by accident.
    Volvo.
    We build them the way we build them because we have to.
    VOLVO.
    IN A NATION OF ENGINEERS, BAD CARS DON’T SELL.
    In Sweden, precision is a national preoccupation.
    The smallest unit of measurement in the world is the Swedish Angstrom. There's one ten-millionth of a millimeter to every Angstrom.
    A Swedish engineer developed the block gauge. A precision instrument that allowed a famous man from Detroit to enter into mass production of cars.
    Today, Sweden is often referred to as a nation of engineers. Engineering is the largest industry, employing nearly 40% of the total labor force.
    At Volvo alone, there are 517 engineers. And only 27 stylists.
    We have to put a lot of emphasis on engineering.
    Since Volvo is the largest-selling car in Sweden, a lot of our customers are engineers too.
    Volvo. We build them the way we build them because we have to.
    VOLVO.
