Autoliv has developed its first complete wearable protection for motorcycle riders: a vest with an integrated airbag system designed to reduce critical injury risks in the event of a crash. This system is being launched in collaboration with RS Taichi, a manufacturer of motorcycle riding gear, who will bring it to market.

Autoliv (ALV) and Yamaha Motor (YAMHF) have co-developed an innovative airbag system for the new Tricity 300 commuter scooter. "This is a significant step toward making advanced safety solutions accessible to a wider range of riders, moving beyond their previous availability solely on high-end motorcycles," Autoliv said. "The collaboration reflects Autoliv's continued expansion beyond its core business and supports the company's long-term strategic direction." "This collaboration represents a key development beyond our core business. It contributes to our future growth, and it is an important step in delivering on our long-term strategic agenda. It also marks a significant advancement in safeguarding motorcyclists, who traditionally have far less protection than occupants in light vehicles." said Mikael Bratt, President & CEO, Autoliv. The updated Tricity 300 model is expected to be available on the market during the first half of 2026, featuring an airbag module supplied by Autoliv.
