Volvo is cutting the top speed for all of its new models to 112 miles per hour from 130 mph starting next year.
At a time when automakers are pushing speed and acceleration to make their vehicles more appealing, Volvo is taking a different approach. The Swedish carmaker is cutting the top speed for all of its new models to 112 miles per hour starting next year."While a speed limitation is not a cure-all, it's worth doing if we can even l save one life," Volvo President and CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement announcing the decision.
It's unclear how much limiting the top speed to 112 mph might curb accidents or fatalities given the speed is still high. Still, Volvo is venturing into an area automakers have been hesitant to approach: reducing the speed of cars and trucks.
