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.

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?
