Drinking alcohol and driving is an unsafe combination with severe consequences.
This includes the driver as well as everybody else in the traffic environment.
The Volvo Alcolock is designed to promote safe and alcohol free driving.
The driver is required to take a breath test before the engine can be started.
He blows into a mouth piece on the hand-held unit for five seconds.
If everything is OK, the driver gets the message "Start Motor" in the display.
If not, the message "Lock Out" is displayed and the engine cannot be started.
The Alcolock has been developed specifically for Volvo Trucks;
it also meets strict ADR requirements for the transportation of dangerous goods.
Having the Alcolock installed serves as a quality insurance.
It significantly enhances the safety of the transportation and of the drivers.
