Opportunity

Autoliv is the global leader in vehicle safety solutions, with the vision of saving more lives and reducing injuries in case accidents happen. Autoliv products and solutions save over 30,000 lives annually. With this goal in mind, we produce hundreds of millions of small mechanical components that constitute vehicle seatbelts, airbags, and other safety equipment. To make these components lighter, more sustainable, and more cost-efficient without compromising on their functionality, we are looking for partners in the field of new materials. What materials do you work with that could be used to produce our components?

Opportunity Overview

Autoliv’s success is based on more than 60 years of driving technology innovations in vehicle safety.

Our engineers’ robust solutions are based on solid research and extensive application skills and are developed in close cooperation with our customers, the world’s leading car manufacturers. As the global leader, Autoliv develops, manufactures, and markets protective systems, such as airbags, seatbelts, and steering wheels. Our primary focus is to save lives and reduce serious injuries if an accident occurs.

Safety performance, sustainability, and cost-efficiency are essential drivers of our business. At Autoliv, we have identified that the market is changing rapidly to innovative materials that come at a lower cost and a better CO2 footprint but are still suitable for automotive requirements, including high strength & good formability. For this reason, we continuously scan the field of new material and component production innovations to see what is out there and work with the best-in-class material startups to integrate new solutions into our safety product portfolio.
