Autoliv supplies all major vehicle manufacturers in the world and most vehicle brands. In the development of a new vehicle model, a process that takes several years, Autoliv in many cases functions as a development partner for the car manufacturer. This typically means that Autoliv gives advice on new safety-enhancing products, assists in adaptation and conduct testing of the safety systems.

From a risk point of view, it is important that no contract accounts for more than 5% of consolidated sales. Our largest contract accounted for less than 5% in 2009. Each contract typically involves one vehicle platform and is usually valid as long as that platform is produced (approximately 4-5 years).
The contracts are awarded approximately three years before vehicle production starts.
