VÅRGÅRDA, Sweden, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE:ALV) (SSE: ALIVsdb), the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems, is taking a significant step to accelerate the development of life-saving mobility solutions through the Autoliv Innovation Center - a new global platform designed to speed up innovation, collaboration, and development of advanced safety technologies. The Autoliv Innovation Center is inaugurated today in Vårgårda, Sweden, the city where Autoliv's history began.

The Innovation Center builds on more than 70 years of safety expertise rooted in Sweden, where Autoliv's operations have played a pivotal role in advancing traffic safety on a global scale. Technologies developed here have been scaled worldwide and are today protecting road users across vehicle segments.

With the Autoliv Innovation Center, Autoliv now takes the next step. By bringing research, system architecture, testing, prototyping and pilot production together in one environment, the center enables faster technical evaluation and shorter development cycles. Advanced digital tools are combined with physical labs and test environments to verify performance in realistic and measurable scenarios.

A key foundation of the Innovation Center is Autoliv's long-standing triple-helix approach, where industry, academia, and society collaborate to address complex safety challenges. The ambition is to create an arena for global cooperation that drives innovation across mobility and society, with the ultimate goal of Saving More Lives.

"The Autoliv Innovation Center is a strategic development in how we advance safety going forward. By bringing the full innovation chain together, we can move faster from insight to real-world impact and scale solutions globally. It is also the natural evolution of our long-established operations in Vårgårda, building on decades of experience and capability. Sweden has played an important role in advancing traffic safety worldwide, and Vårgårda has been central to these accomplishments. What we are doing today is building on that heritage to accelerate the next generation of global safety innovation," said Fabien Dumont, Executive Vice President & Chief Technology Officer, Autoliv.

Over time, the operation in Vårgårda has been central to innovations for road safety including advanced motorcycle safety solutions, the development of Human Body Models (HBM) that improve injury assessment, Load Limit Management (LLM) technologies that enhance restraint performance, Pyrotechnic Safety Switch (PSS) solutions for electrical safety, and safety systems tailored for commercial vehicles.

Autoliv's safety solutions save approximately 40,000 lives and reduce around 600,000 injuries every year, a tangible demonstration of how innovation makes a real difference for society. With increased investment and an expanded platform for collaboration, the Autoliv Innovation Center is set to further accelerate the development of next-generation safety solutions and help save even more lives in the future.
