Nowadays one of the factors of accident is
driving under the influence of alcohol, good thing the Volvo Car Corporation
had come up with the new Alcoguard (TM), a piece of equipment aimed in preventing driving while
drunk, by requiring the intended driver to pass a breath alcohol test prior to
starting the vehicle. Because of this they were awarded in Toronto, Canada
by Alcohol Counter Measure System Corporation. ACS has worked closely with Volvo Cars to
manufacture a fully incorporate product designed exclusively for most Volvo
cars. Rather than fitting a one-size-fits-all alcohol interlock, ACS engineered
a completely new product meeting the stern OEM qualifications
provided by Volvo cars parts.
According
to the technical Director for ACS Bill Burger "Its one thing to have a
vehicle manufacturer incorporate your existing product into their vehicle as an
aftermarket accessory, but it's quite another to have a vehicle manufacturer
request a customized alcohol interlock for mass production." Serial
production is expected to begin in 2008. Customers looking to purchase the
Alcoguard should visit their
local Volvo Cars dealership in Sweden.
