Autoliv’s mission is to provide word-class life-saving solutions for mobility and society
Our real-life approach to innovation
We have accelerated our innovation agenda, focusing on key current industry technology and product development. A major focus area for us is new passive safety solutions driven by the evolution of advanced driver assistance systems and new interiors. This enables our development teams to challenge and redefine the standards of safety for future challenges such as autonomous cars and advanced driver-assistance systems.
Research-driven innovation
Through research, we identify safety needs and develop test methods that contribute to a safer transportation system.
We do research within data analytics to understand traffic data crash characteristics and also road user behavior.

Vice President Global Innovation & Managing Director ALS
An unparalleled network of collaborations
Autoliv has created a global network of innovation and research collaborations in data research, biomechanics and traffic safety analysis. We partner with universities, multinational research institutes and policy makers, engaging with innovative start-ups and other companies to research and produce scalable and quick-to-market safety innovations.
Occupant protection in future cars
Autonomous driving may lead to more relaxed seating positions and flexible interiors, changing the balance of restraint systems.
Researchers found that high lap belt forces caused iliac wing fractures, which can be reduced using load-limiting technology. Virtual simulations showed that applying load-limiting to both the lap belt anchor and buckle reduced pelvis forces, and prototype testing confirmed its effectiveness in reducing injury risks.
A new buckle-load limiter was developed to limit pelvis load in reclined seating positions, improving safety and reducing injuries.
Test Centers
We have 13 technical centers, 20 crash test tracks enabling crash simulations globally and 5,500 employees in Research, Development and Engineering.
