Volvo Trucks – The Epic Split feat. Van Damme

126,395,313 views Nov 14, 2013


The Stunt: The video stars actor and martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme performing his signature split between two moving Volvo FM trucks. The trucks are driven in reverse as they slowly pull apart, requiring Van Damme to maintain the split while standing on their side mirrors.

The Purpose: The main goal of the advertising campaign was not just to be spectacular, but to demonstrate the precision and stability of the new Volvo Dynamic Steering (VDS) system. The system allows the trucks to maintain perfectly parallel, exact courses, even when driven in reverse, which is critical for the safety and success of the stunt.

The Monologue (Excerpt): Van Damme delivers a philosophical voiceover throughout the stunt:

“I’ve had my ups and downs. My fair share of bumpy roads and heavy winds. That’s what made me what I am today. Now I stand here before you. What you see is a body crafted to perfection. A pair of legs engineered to defy the laws of physics. And a mindset to master the most epic of splits.”
