Volvo to limit new cars to 180km/h from 2020
Volvo Cars will electronically limit its new vehicles to a top speed of 180km/h from 2020. The company has a long-held goal of eliminating deaths and serious injuries in its new cars, but now recognises advances in technology and design aren't enough to achieve this target. According to Volvo, above a certain speed in-car safety technology and modern infrastructure design is not enough to prevent death or serious injury.
