Autoliv recently participated in the International Motorcycle Safe Mobility Conference in Zaragoza, Spain, joining researchers, safety experts, industry leaders and policymakers to exchange knowledge and explore new ways to improve motorcycle safety.
Representing Autoliv were Jordi Lombarte, Executive Vice President, Senior Technical Advisor and Acting VP RDE Americas, and Shiyang Meng, Biomechanics Expert. Together, they shared insights from Autoliv’s work to develop safety solutions that help protect motorcyclists and reduce the risk of severe injuries in crashes.
During the panel discussion “Injury Assessment and Prevention: Data from Around the World During the Airbag Era,” Shiyang Meng presented Autoliv’s work in airbag biomechanics and joined other experts to discuss injury trends, safety data and opportunities to further advance rider protection.
Biomechanics research plays an important role in understanding how injuries occur and in developing effective protection systems for motorcycle riders. Conference participants also had the opportunity to see Autoliv’s integrated airbag system for motorcycles, currently in production on the Yamaha Tricity 300. Developed through crash analysis, simulation and testing, the system is designed to deploy in frontal crashes and help reduce the risk of serious and life-threatening injuries.
Autoliv also showcased its motorcycle airbag vest technology, a wearable safety solution that combines advanced sensing technology, an integrated airbag system and a lightweight design to provide additional rider protection across a range of crash scenarios. Motorcycle safety is an important part of the broader challenge of protecting vulnerable road users. By combining decades of safety expertise with biomechanics research, real-world data and technology development, Autoliv is advancing solutions designed to improve protection for riders. Collaboration with researchers, industry experts and other stakeholders is key to continued progress. Through forums such as the International Motorcycle Safe Mobility Conference, Autoliv can share knowledge, learn from the wider safety community and continue developing innovations that support safer mobility.
It is another way Autoliv is working toward its purpose of Saving More Lives.
