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.
