I trust Volvo ...
Car manufacturers similar to all the others. It's a while ago now - early 1980's - when Volvo ran an advertising campaign here based on the life expectancy of their vehicles: "if they typically survive 23 years (IIRC) in Sweden with all that snow, just think how long they will last here." That was in spite of the grim corrosion experience of Brits who bought them. They were forced to pull that campaign by the toothless advertising watchdoggy. A late friend worked at their Leeds dealership and he explained that the life expectancy figures were correct, based on official Swedish govt., data, for Volvo's home market, but that cars in Sweden benefited from a version of Trigger's Broom treatment.
The Swedish motor industry's attitude to the safety of those outside the vehicle is typified by the so-called Elk Test.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose_testThat doesn't explain the origin which AFAIK, is that somebody - a celebrity IIRC - is said to have crashed into an elk and was killed when it came in through the windscreen - involuntarily of course. The logic to me is drive so you can stop in the distance you can see to be clear.
