An airbag for two wheels that guarantees a quiet and safer ride. Piaggio Group and Autoliv join forces by starting a collaboration with the aim of developing a safety system for motorcycles and scooters. The agreement was signed by the parties to jointly develop airbags that will be mounted on the vehicle chassis and open in milliseconds, ensuring greater protection for two-wheeler drivers and making the driving experience even more enjoyable. Motorcycles are increasingly popular around the world, a popularity due both to urbanization and urban densification, and to the convenience and ease of use of two-wheeled vehicles. Today these vehicles are equipped with advanced safety systems, such as ABS (AntiBlockierSystem) and ASR (Electronic Traction Control), and the provision of airbags will contribute to a further step in this direction.
“Autoliv is committed to its Saving More Lives project and to providing world-class life-saving solutions for mobility and society. This is why we are developing products that can specifically protect the most exposed road users. The development of these products is an integral part of our sustainability agenda and an important step towards our goal of saving 100,000 lives per year by 2030 “, said Mikael Bratt, CEO and President of Autoliv. Autoliv developed the initial concepts with advanced simulation tools and conducted full-scale crash tests. Autoliv will now work with the Piaggio Group to further develop the product and evaluate its marketing potential.
