A new Volvo V40 hatchback, equipped with the latest in safety features including the first ever “external“ airbag system, was unveiled.
Among the new features are a world-first pedestrian airbag, a so-called Lane Keeping Aid with haptic auto steering, and a system designed to makes parallel parking easy.
The low-speed collision avoidance system has been further developed so that it now operates at speeds up to 50 km/h.
Production of the new Volvo V40 starts in May 2012. The car will be built in Volvo Car Corporation's plant in Ghent, Belgium.
Among Volvo’s many current ventures is the collaboration with owners Geely in creating a separate Chinese company to be able to manufacture Volvo cars in China.
The hope is that production will begin there in 2013, if the necessary permits can be obtained.
