"The Epic Split feat. Van Damme (Live Test)" is a 75-second-long commercial released in November 2013 by Volvo Trucks, as the sixth commercial in their "Live Tests" advertising campaign. The commercial was made to demonstrate the stability of the Volvo FM trucks while using their implementation of dynamic steering. It features Jean-Claude Van Damme performing a split on the wing mirrors between two backwards moving trucks set to the music "Only Time" by Enya. The commercial was recorded in a single take at the abandoned Ciudad Real International Airport in Spain during a sunrise. It was produced by the agency Forsman & Bodenfors and was directed by Andreas Nilsson. It has won several awards, and multiple parodies were based on the commercial.
