March 4 (UPI) -- Volvo Cars will put a top speed of 112 mph on all cars starting with the 2021 models, the company announced Monday.
"Volvo is a leader in safety: we always have been and we always will be," Volvo President and CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. "Because of our research we know where the problem areas are when it comes to ending serious injuries and fatalities in our cars. And while a speed limitation is not a cure-all, it's worth doing if we can even save one life."
