Jean-Claude Van Damme demonstrates a lot of faith. Faith in the drivers who are maneuvering these vehicles. The technology that enables the drivers to accomplish their goal. The executability of the plan conceived by the marketing agency.
With one foot on the side mirror of each truck, Van Damme stands while the trucks first start driving in reverse and then gradually separate to a point where he is fully split. Maintaining that exact separation while the trucks are driving in reverse is quite an accomplishment of driving skill and technology. Anyone who has tried to backup with a trailer attached to their car knows how difficult it is to stay in line. But may be more remarkable is the strength of the side mirrors and their ability to sustain his weight as speed.
Watch Jean-Claude Van Damme carry out his famous split between two reversing trucks. Never done before, JCVD says it’s the most epic of splits — what do you think? Please share & comment! This live test was set up to demonstrate the precision and directional stability of Volvo Dynamic Steering — a world first technology that makes the new Volvo FM easier to drive.
I expect that if there had been more than one take, we would see more scars and bruises.
