The lads at Volvo Trucks have been creating some pretty cool viral videos as of late and their latest one features a stunt performed by none other than Jean-Claude Van Damme.

This live test was set up to demonstrate the precision and directional stability of ‘Volvo Dynamic Steering’, a new technology developed by Volvo that makes the new Volvo FM truck easier to drive.

The video was shot in Spain on a closed-off landing field at sunrise and it was all done in one take. However, while we’d love to believe that The Muscles from Brussels completed the stunt without any wires or harnesses, we’re sure all the proper safety precautions were taken before hand. Then again, he is one tough b*stard…

Here’s what Volvo had to say about the video: “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.”
