SHANGHAI, May 2, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV) (SSE:
ALIVsdb), the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems,
presented several new safety solutions at the Shanghai Automobile
Industry Exhibition 2023. The new safety solutions include an
integrated cockpit, a zero-gravity seat, and the Star steering
wheel. The new products are designed to provide safety, comfort,
and an improved driving experience.
Our development teams constantly challenge and redefine the
standards of mobility safety. Autoliv is committed to deliver new
safety solutions driven by global automotive market trends, such as
self-driving cars and increased connectivity. The new solutions
also meet the demand for increased occupant convenience.
The integrated cockpit combines several new safety
solutions
The integrated cockpit presented by Autoliv at the exhibition
showcased several Autoliv products, including a foldable steering
wheel that retracts into the dashboard as the car drives itself, a
heated seatbelt for increased convenience and energy efficiency,
and an illuminated seatbelt buckle that makes it easier to buckle
up when dark.
The zero-gravity seat and the Star steering wheel with new
technical and visual aspects
Autoliv also presented several other innovative safety
solutions at the exhibition, such as the zero-gravity seat and the
Star steering wheel. The zero-gravity seat solution is specifically
developed for autonomous driving to provide an ideal, comfortable
posture during long drives. This different seating position
requires new safety solutions. The Autoliv zero-gravity seat
features airbags and an integrated seatbelt for optimal safety. As
the seat reclines, the safety system adjusts to the needs of
different drivers and passengers, adapting to their weight, height,
and gender.
The Star steering wheel has multiple electrical functions and
an integrated central screen that stays fixed while the wheel is
being rotated. Integrating the screen into the steering wheel frees
up space and allows for new, innovative interior designs. The
central screen can be used for multimedia entertainment, driver
information and for providing navigation data to the driver. It
also features heating, hands on detection, and driver alerts
through lighting and vibration.
Well-represented with Chinese OEMs
"We continue to bring breakthrough innovations to the market.
Combined, these new safety solutions are built on the latest
advanced technologies that seamlessly integrate to meet the growing
demand for reliable and efficient safety solutions in the
automotive industry in China and
worldwide," said Mikael Bratt,
President and CEO of Autoliv.
"Autoliv is well-represented with Chinese OEMs, many of which
are aiming for global expansion. We estimate that around a quarter
of our sales in China in 2022 was
with local OEMs, and this year we expect that to increase. We see a
strong demand in China and
worldwide for safety innovations and these new safety solutions
represent a major step forward for us in the field of mobility
safety," said Sng Yih, President, Autoliv China.
