For a publicity stunt, Volvo teamed up with Belgian actor and director Jean-Claude Van Damme, who did the splits between two moving Volvo trucks.

The ad is called "The Epic Split" and was released today and to demonstrate the accuracy and especially the stability of Volvo trucks, a result of the technology called Dynamic Steering.
It may seem unbelievable but no CGI was used in the creation of the video and Van Damme actually executed this maneuver.

Volvo's announcement is accompanied by an explanatory video of this feat by Jean-Claude Van Damme.
