Volvo unveils the world's first multi-adaptive safety belt
Swedish brand Volvo Cars has unveiled an improved safety belt. The new multi-adaptive safety belt is a world first technology designed to better protect people by adapting to traffic variations and the person wearing it, thanks to real-time data from the car's sensors. Data input from interior and exterior sensors is used to customise protection, adapting the setting based on the situation and person's profiles, such as their height, weight, body shape and seating position. In less than a blink of an eye, the car's system analyses the unique characteristics of a crash — such as direction, speed and passenger posture — and shares that information with the safety belt. Modern safety belts use load limiters to control how much force the safety belt applies on the human body during a crash. The new safety belt expands the load-limiting profiles from three to 11 and increases the possible number of settings, enabling it to optimise performance for each situation and individual. For example, a larger occupant in a serious crash will receive a higher belt load setting to help reduce the risk of head injury, while a smaller occupant in a milder crash will receive a lower belt load setting to reduce the risk of rib fractures. The belt has been tested and further developed at the Volvo Cars Safety Centre crash lab where engineers can recreate almost any traffic accident and perform tests for real-world safety. 'The world first multi-adaptive safety belt is another milestone for automotive safety and a great example of how we leverage real-time data with the aim to help save millions of lives,' said Åsa Haglund, head of Volvo Cars Safety Centre. 'This marks a major upgrade to the modern three-point safety belt, a Volvo invention introduced in 1959, estimated to have saved more than a million lives.' The new safety belt will debut in the upcoming fully electric Volvo EX60 in 2026, but Volvo made automotive history when the first car fitted as standard with three-point safety belts was delivered on August 13 1959. Since then, Swedish mechanical engineer and inventor Nils Bohlin's invention has been fitted to millions of cars. Here are some of the most important milestones in Volvo Cars' child protection history: 1964 — first child seat prototype; 1967 — reversible front passenger seat with special child backrest; 1972 — Volvo's first rearward-facing child seat; 1976 — the booster cushion — a world first from Volvo; 1990 — world's first integrated booster cushion; 1999 — world's first rearward-facing seat for Isofix; 2007 — world's first two-stage integrated booster cushion; and 2014 — inflatable child seat concept.

World's 1st multi-adaptive safety belt unveiled by Volvo
At the forefront of automotive safety since its genesis, Volvo has unveiled the world's first multi-adaptive safety belt, which will feature in the forthcoming Volvo EX60. Looking for a new or used Volvo? Find it here with CARmag! Set to debut with the fresh-faced EX60 SUV in 2026, Volvo Cars has a new multi-adaptive safety belt, which it says marks a significant evolution of the classic three-point belt the brand first introduced in 1959. This is the life-saving automotive safety invention credited with saving over a million lives globally. This next-generation safety belt uses real-time data from the car's technologically advanced network of interior and exterior sensors to optimise protection for every person in the cabin. It adapts not only to the specific crash scenario but also to the unique physical profile of the occupant, taking into account factors such as height, weight, body shape and seating position. In practice, this means that a larger adult involved in a high-speed collision would receive a stronger belt load setting to help minimise the risk of head injury, while a smaller occupant in a lower-impact crash would receive a gentler setting to reduce the chance of rib fractures. Related: Volvo Confirms XC70 as First Firm's First Extended PHEV Volvo has increased the number of available load-limiting profiles from three to 11, which it adds, enhances the belt's ability to modulate force. Unlike traditional systems, this multi-adaptive safety belt can dynamically alter its response by processing information such as crash direction, vehicle speed and passenger posture in less than the blink of an eye. The system then selects the optimal belt setting to match the scenario. Living in a digital age, Volvo says this adaptive approach is made even more powerful through over-the-air software updates. The Swedish automaker continues to collect crash data and refine its algorithms, the multi-adaptive belt will be able to improve over time, enhancing both predictive accuracy and real-world performance. It forms part of a wider safety ecosystem that integrates with the vehicle's airbags, occupant detection systems and advanced driver assistance features, working together to reduce injury risk.

'It represents a major upgrade to the modern three-point safety belt, which has been our cornerstone for over 60 years.' All of the aforementioned data is underpinned by Volvo's comprehensive crash database, which includes information from more than 80 000 real-life accidents. This data-driven foundation allows the company to design systems that go beyond regulatory standards and better reflect the complexities of everyday driving scenarios. As expected, the new belt has undergone extensive development and crash testing at the Volvo Cars Safety Centre in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Why the Volvo EX90 is the definitive eco-warrior SUV
Safety remains the cornerstone and the Lidar sensor scans the surroundings on the move, picking out cars, lanes and other objects in the EX90's proximity. All that's needed is to keep your hands on the wheel at all times and it will self-throttle, brake and turn into curves proficiently. The system is let down only by municipal ineptness where road markings have faded and deactivates quickly and warns the driver to take the reins. Foibles? Putting all major controls into a single digital hub will not be to everyone's liking, but I'm all for it. The digital key, which the car senses on approach, is too small, though, and easy to lose. Apart from this, the car didn't put a foot wrong for me. The closest rivals to this luxury electric Volvo are the BMW iX 50 and Mercedes-Benz EQS 450. While the BMW looks the part and is priced marginally lower than the Volvo's R2,650,00, it doesn't accommodate seven people. The Mercedes is R82,000 more expensive and can be optioned with seven seats. Having tested all three, it's the Volvo EX90 that's coming home with me for its blend of luxury, style, functionality and Lidar sensors. It's sold as standard with a five-year/100,000km warranty and a three-year/60,000km maintenance plan.
