Notes:	We found out that in the Netherlands, 17.000 people annually suffer from cardiac arrest. The first 6 minutes are crucial for survival. But ambulances take on average 9 minutes to reach victims. And there aren’t enough AED’s around to compensate, especially not in rural areas. Volvo means safety; with so many Volvo’s on the road, we could make a difference by connecting drivers to victims. Idea We decided to train and equip Volvo drivers with AED’s, connecting their Volvos to the national call system for resuscitation. Execution Volvo drivers are registered as civilian first responders. Emergency calls are automatically sent to the car via Volvo On Call. The driver can navigate directly to the victim. With a modest budget and a target of 25 people, an astonishing 200 enlisted in the first two weeks. The project exceeded expectations by nearly a thousand percent, making national and international headlines.
