The deal was signed to jointly develop chassis-mounted airbags, which will deploy in milliseconds
The first airbag for scooters and motorcycles arrives. Autoliv, which deals with safety systems for the automotive sector, and the Piaggio Group have entered into a collaboration with the aim of developing an airbag for two wheels.
The agreement was signed to jointly develop airbags that will be mounted on the vehicle chassis and deploy in milliseconds.
Today, vehicles are equipped with advanced safety systems, such as ABS (AntiBlockierSystem) and Asr (Electronic Traction Control), and the provision of airbags will contribute to a further step in this direction. «Autoliv is committed to its Saving More Lives project and to providing world-class life-saving solutions for mobility and society. That is why we are developing products that can specifically protect the most exposed road users. The development of these products is an integral part of our sustainability agenda and an important step towards our goal of saving 100,000 lives per year by 2030, ”said Mikael Bratt, CEO and president of Autoliv.
Autoliv developed the initial concepts with advanced simulation tools and conducted full-scale crash tests. Autoliv will now work with the Piaggio Group to further develop the product and evaluate its marketing potential.
