Top Secret Proving Ground: Hällered, Sweden

- The test facility at Hällered in Sweden is a veritable torture chamber for cars. Here, Volvo cars are made to suffer around the clock in extraordinarily tough conditions. (In just a few months cars are aged as much as during the entire anticipated lifetime of the vehicles in normal traffic.)

Testing these cars would be a dream job for me!
Kinda" cool to see a V60 in 2010 when this was published to RUclips, that I would own a new one in the USA in 2015.
volvo for ever!!!
Sweden Is really Beautiful Land and Volvo Cars And Trucks are So so Nice and Perfect for all Natural Conditions...i LOVE Sweden and Volvo too!!
So uhh where do i apply to be a driver?
wow i love the green C30 :)
Happy with the 2015 Volvo Xc60 T6 AWD
VOLVO - Sweden's pride.
There are not many manufacturers like Volvo.
wow amazing......
What was the anticipated lifetime of a 2006 Volvo compared to a 2016 Volvo? For my family, keeping a good car for 15 years is nothing. We have kept a 1994 Ford Escort for that long, and I intend to keep my S60 for at least 10 more years with religious maintenance.
I would love to thrash a Volvo like that, but not one of mine - I love them too much.
Innovation is often just marketing phrase, and testing new aid systems does not happen very often. Companies simply like to conform to the existing ones.
Turns out american manufacturers never did tests like this. Otherwise all the crap transmissions would have failed in the first day....
I own a 2004 XC90 T6... a money well spent!!!
best job ever
Happy with my volvo
Sweden and Volvo, awesome :D
I replaced the 2002 S60 with a 2016 V60 XC last week. Love both. Just did my very first road trip with the v60 to Whistler today, the whole front end is covered with road-salt dust. Can you guys give me some tips on cleaning the road salt off the underside of the vehicle? Thanks!
My parents ordered me to get rid of the S60. Because its AWD is not working and will cost $2000 to fix. And a minor leakage related to the turbo is "under observation". Plus a few years back we spent $6000 to replace the transmission. They have given up on keeping the old faithful :(
The S60 was the family vehicle and was given to me went I was old enough to drive. It's like my brother so I was very sad to see it go.
Want to know if my old S60 just being unlucky. First, the transmission "fried" and need to be replaced when it was just 80,000km and now the AWD failed at 170,000km. With other problems, it has been on the tow trucks quite a few times. Even the dealer say my old S60 was the first one they encounter that needed to completely replace the transmission (Cuz the original transmission have already been rebuilt once, but the slipping problem was still there. And a few thousand km later it "fried", with it a few other cooling related systems).
Edit: 2022 update! Watching Volvo videos and noticed I have been here already a few years ago XD. So not long after that original comment back in 2017, dad traded in his 2004 Nissan for a 2017 V60 Momentum and we became a 2 Volvos household. 2020 was a hot mess, so the 2016 V60CC was not brought-out but returned to the dealer for a 2020 V60CC. And last month mom retired and traded in her 2013 Ford for a V90CC. We are a 3 Volvos household now.
Hi, congratulations on your new V60! How do you like it so far? Regarding the road-salt we would advice you to contact your local dealer for best assistance for your specific car.
Volvo Cars LOVE IT!
Only one minor disappointment: old Volvos have parking receipts holder, just a small piece of clear plastic to hold the parking pass under the windscreen. Very useful.
And the old S60 have seat pouches at the front edge of front row seats, also very useful. Maybe put them back in newer models? Thanks.
Rick Feng My new V40 has one!
What city do you live in? Isn't Whistler 2 hours away from Bellingham? I live in Bellingham and drive an Acura RDX 2009. We hardly use any road salt here so I'm surprised how much road salt they use in Whistler as that's what you mentioned.
Drive through car wash. That’s a great. Drive. Hope you enjoyed it
volvo car's amazing
I sometimes test drive different Volvos AT Bil Nilsson in Alingsås, and every time i accelerate from 0-120kmh on E20 highway I always see and feel myself as a test driver. I Wish I could drive on The big route in Hällered outside of Borås :(
I love my Volvo

"In just a few months cars are aged as much as during the entire anticipated lifetime"
and what is that for Volvo's these days?
Uhm, don't think it's per car. They said every driver wears out 2000 tires, maybe on more than one model? Not sure, they also say a test driver drives 100.000 km per year... that would mean a set of 4 tires change every 200 km. Now that sounds a little bit exaggerated.
VOLVO for Life!
Anyone knows about the second generations of volvo xc90. when its coming out?
(sorry for my bad english) im not sure if i should buy a xc60 now, or wair to see the new xc90.
@a3519 Would you tell me how you started and how you got to where you are now?
@a3519 Do you have a link to a video to show?
Volvo 👍👍👍👍👍
Sweden, you say? Isn't that the place with that supped-up tractor in that other video I just watched?
Skulle vara kul att ha som jobb =), annars skulle det vara kul att testköra mig volvo se om den håller lika bra som nya =D
"Extreme offroad" really? sand and stairs. they might have other test but then why did they not show those.
Where can I fill in the application form? :)
I have experience in sales spare parts in vehicle .. can I get any jobs in sales .
Regards
send a mail to them if you're interested
@DavidLeo2406 Not before than end of 2012.
Volvo, fucking brilliant! I was born in a Volvo, and I'm sure as hell going to die in one, though hence the safety is so brilliant, It's most probably going to be of natural causes.
i know what i wanna be in 4 years :D
Jag vill också vara med!:)
i want that job.
Better than VW's test track.
Hey Volvo, give me an e-mail when you have openings for a job there ;)
I Want To Be A Driver At Volvo :D
Sweden ftw! Volvo ftw!
Are you hiring?
You can find our current openings on our careers site here: group.volvocars.com/careers
HAVE A CHALLENGE FOR VOLVO
Build a car that can withstand the underride of a truck trailer at 120kmh.
But since you cant be 100% if the structure gets cut make it survivable.
Drömjobbet :D
a citroen would def need something like this
fyfan vad töntig...
@Qwertey16 ska vara min volvo...
@Holdtheline07 du är
if Volvos would last 160k kms id never buy one
um what
Did you even listen to the video? That distance driven hard is equivalent to a much greater distance in normal driving.
And sure, if your daily commute is hours long and done at over 200 km/h, then you earn the right to call this "laughably easy." Until then, you're nothing but someone who talks big on the internet.
this ad is not good enough, check how volkswagen test their cars and you'll never want to drive anything else when you see what vw have to endure. pure brutality
Why not just drive around Ukraine?
