Did you know that.....one of the pioneers in seatbelts was the Swedish state-owned power company Vattenfall?

In the early 1950s, the company began to react to the fact that more people were killed in traffic accidents than in occupational accidents. Vattenfall had previously investigated falls from utility poles, which led to them beginning to develop safety gear.  However, as their employees used cars for work purposes, Vattenfall began investigating that as well, which led to the development of a model of the two-point seatbelt “Typ Vattenfall,” which Lindblads Autoservice received a license to manufacture.
