The three-point belt was revolutionary when it appeared on Aug. 13th, 1959. Volvo developed it to reduce casualties and injuries in traffic accidents. It was a simple but yet ingenious invention. By 1962 they gave away the patent for free as they believed it was essential that all cars were equipped with the three-point belt, and they didnt believe in monopoly for such an important product. Since its creation this invention has reduced casulaties by more than 50 percent and since the 1960s more than 1 000 000 people have been saved. No wonder they call Volvo the safest car in the world.

          You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

          By 1962 they gave away the patent for free as they believed it was essential that all cars were equipped with the three-point belt, and they didnt belive in monopoly for such an important product.
          It should be believe instead of belive.
