Volvo Trucks - Testing Collision Warning with Emergency Brake - 'Trucks' Anatomy' (E01)

In the first episode of Trucks' Anatomy we take a close look at the revolutionary Collision Warning with Emergency Brake system. Your host Peter Sundfeldt, one of Sweden's best-known motor journalists will guide you through the test.

How does a truck really work? How is it built? How is it developed? Volvo Trucks YouTube-series "Truck's Anatomy" gives you the answers.

Even if it hits. The impact will be at a slower speed, and way less damaging.

Automation like this is the direction vehicles need to take, IMO. Adding features that automatically do things when the human mind fails is way better than letting the machine do all the work in every situation (which is impossible). This automation doesn't encourage drivers to be less attentive, and it only activates when the human has failed.

I drive one of these trucks and had a driver cut me up to come off the junction on the m6 jnc15 (uk) if the auto brake did not kick in my reactions alone would not have stopped the truck in time and that car driver may not be alive today .. excellent truck trust no other !

I drive one of these new Volvo, I can tell It does work. .😮😮

Amazing how you can stop 40 tons this quickly and keep the truck in one piece

I've been watching Volvo short videos recently and frankly I'm really amazed ❤️

[eddiedeleon]

[MattafixTm]

[Loony_BeLuna]

Thank you Volvo, this will safe lifes.
My Dad is a trucker and one day a cat did just runned over the street, we just wanted to leave the Highway (in Germany) and a cat did come, he did reacted so quick!
These brakes will make the life of much drives more safe. Some drive soo long and get a bit dizzy and lost some reaction, this will help to protect all.

I would be shocked if this isn't made mandatory. Also mud flaps (or a well designed equivalent) on all vehicles would reduce accidents as wet weather spray, especially on motorways, would be reduced.

Why the hazard warning lights are not switched on automatically to warn the traffic behind the truck ???

[nino_kO]

best truck ever i just love everything what Volvo made and when comes episode 2

[juliocrivelaro]

Parabens a volvo é uma excelente conquista

I see a lot of concern for the drivers behind the truck, and I kind of get the worry; a non-attentive driver may very well end up rear-ending the semi, which would suck for the car driver. However, even with this awesome system, a semi (whether fully loaded or not) won't be stopping faster than a car with standard brakes would be able to. I guarantee that no matter how fast a truck stops in front of me, if I have a reasonable following distance (which is a no-brainer when I follow a semi, since I like to have time to dodge potholes and whatnot that the truck would obstruct), I'll be able to stop far faster than it, regardless of how great the truck's system is. It's just physics, my 1.5 ton car will stop faster than a 14 or 40 ton semi. If the driver isn't paying attention or is being a tailgaiting asshole, well then... the result would probably be the same regardless of if the truck had this system or not.

it is a really impressive system and a marvel of a truck

Superb!  What the 38 tonner at the traffic lights in Worcester didn't have (sorry didn't see you mate!)  My car was rear-ended and catapulted straight across the crossroad in spite of a red traffic light but luckily the junction was clear.  Fortunately the car's seat back collapsed owing to the phenomenal acceleration so I was not hurt. Unfortunately they don't make cars like that anymore.  These days anyone in a bump like that would be claiming for whiplash but in the good old days people were more honest than they are now.

Very Nice, How come we can't get such cool trucks like this here in the US.
