The Internet is buzzing about a new online commercial that shows actor Jean-Claude Van, public relations manager for the Volvo Trucks brand. “It’s a daring stunt but we had full control. There was never any real danger involved.” It was filmed by Nilsson on a closed-off airstrip in Spain called Ciudad Real, located just south of Madrid. Prior to filming, the production team rehearsed the stunt for three days. The electric motor receives 2000 signals per second from the truck’s on-board custom aprons, allowing for more precise steering. He said the steering system offers a more relaxed and ergonomically designed experience for truck drivers.
 
Van Dame, 53, was hooked to safety lines that aren’t visible in the film, and each foot is on a small platform that was built on the trucks’ side mirrors. Van Dame’s feet aren’t secured to the mirrors, video director Andreas Nilsson said, “But we had him rigged so that if he would fall off he wouldn’t die obviously. We didn’t want to be responsible for killing the Muscles from Brussels.” The stunt, meant to advertise Volvo Trucks’ new dynamic custom aprons, has drawn more than eight million views on YouTube since the video was posted on Nov. 13.
