Saab Scania's New Crash Zone Concept: Revolutionizing Truck Safety

The video discusses a new truck safety concept by Scania aimed at reducing fatalities in car-truck collisions. The Crash Zone concept features a deformable front section designed to absorb impact energy, reducing the severity of collisions. The design includes a wedge-shaped front for better maneuverability and safety. Tests with a Saab car demonstrated the system's effectiveness, showing that passengers could survive crashes. Scania's front underrun protection, standard since 1995, prevents cars from being wedged under trucks, potentially reducing European road fatalities by 900 annually.
