www.chinabuses.org: AB Volvo is one of five partners behind a new centre for research into traffic safety in China that was inaugurated December 18 in Beijing. The China Sweden Research Centre for Traffic Safety signals closer cooperation between Sweden and China in the field of transportation.
In China, which is one of the world’s biggest markets for cars, trucks and buses, traffic safety has emerged as an increasingly important issue for both the Chinese government and the general public. When Sweden’s Minister for Enterprise Annie Lööf visited China in May 2012, the Swedish and Chinese governments signed a letter of intent regarding a joint research facility for traffic safety.
The China Sweden Research Centre for Traffic Safety was inaugurated recently and will conduct research projects with the aim of improving road safety both in Sweden and in China. Pilot projects are already under way, including some whose focus is on studying accidents in China involving trucks and buses. The research centre also aims to boost the exchange of technology and knowhow between the two countries and to support the two governments’ decisions on issues relating to traffic safety.
The other partners in addition to AB Volvo are Volvo Car Group, Chalmers University of Technology, the Chinese Ministry of Transport’s Research Institute of Highways and Tongji University.
