How Many Truckers Fit In The New Volvo FH

How many elephants fit in a car? This question inspired choreographer Christian Vilppola from Cirkus Cirkör to squeeze a lot of truckers into the new Volvo FH.

Putting a new twist on this timeless question, the film was created to show the spacious cab in the new Volvo FH -- now one cubic metre bigger than before.

Volvo's TV Advert "Blindfolded Test Drive"

This Volvo commercial created for the New Zealand auto market is an exhilarating feat in human co-operation, as we watch professional stunt drivers take the Volvo for a blindfolded test drive. This TV spot works well because it has the stylized glossy feel that most auto maker ads feature but it mixes it with the reality and drama of the actual stunt.

Volvo S60 Blind Preview Trailer with Blind Artisit Esref Armagan

Volvo invited blind artist Esref Armagan to Sweden to paint his vision of the new Volvo S60 which will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. This is a preview trailer to for the project, "Blind Preview".The story line reads: There's more to life than a Volvo. That's why we wont show you our all-new S60. Instead, we asked an artist to show. The spot goes on to tell us a bit about the incredible Turkish born Armagan who was born blind, who promises not to look. Should be interesting to watch this campaign in the coming weeks.
