STOCKHOLM, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV) and (SSE: ALIVsdb), the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems, and Yamaha Motor Co. 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. The collaboration reflects Autoliv's continued expansion beyond its core business and supports the company's long-term strategic direction.
The unpredictable nature of motorcycle crashes underscores the need for a holistic approach to safety. This new airbag system is designed to protect the rider in the event of a front collision.
"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.
As a leader in automotive safety, Autoliv is committed to advancing innovative solutions that protect all road users, and this new motorcycle airbag system is a significant step forward of that ambition.
The airbag is seamlessly integrated into the panel of the motorcycle and engineered to absorb the rider's kinetic energy in a frontal collision while maintaining vehicle balance and storage space. To achieve high levels of performance and reliability, the product has undergone validation consistent with applicable development standards, including advanced simulations and full-scale crash testing.
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.

Autoliv and Yamaha Motor Introduce Airbag for Commuter Scooter
- Pleos Connect, a next-generation infotainment system, will launch in May as Hyundai Motor Group's first Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) transition deliverable
- The system will debut on the Group's new vehicles later this year in Korea, followed by a phased global rollout
- By 2030, the Group aims to deploy Pleos Connect in approximately 20 million Hyundai, Kia and Genesis vehicles
SEOUL, South Korea, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) today unveiled Pleos Connect, a next-generation in-vehicle infotainment system designed to fundamentally transform the customer mobility experience.
As the first major step in the Group's transformation into a software-centric mobility leader, Pleos Connect is built on three core development pillars—intuitiveness, safety, and openness—to combine a mobile-friendly user environment with advanced artificial intelligence (AI), creating a highly scalable and intuitive platform. The system will receive continuous feature and performance enhancements via over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
The system will debut on the Group's new vehicles later this year in Korea. The Group aims to equip approximately 20 million Hyundai, Kia and Genesis vehicles with Pleos Connect by 2030, reinforcing its leadership in future mobility solutions.
The Pleos Connect cockpit features two main displays:
- Large Central Screen: A wide-view display divided into three main sections.
- The Driving Information Screen shows essential data including speed and warning lights, along with 3D graphics of surrounding objects and people.
- The App Screen is used for navigation, media and third-party applications.
- The Bottom Bar provides one-tap access to recently used or pinned apps.
- Slim Display: Positioned directly in front of the driver to keep the driver's focus forward, the display presents key information like speed, media and turn-by-turn directions directly in their line of sight.
Driver safety is enhanced through the physical buttons on the steering wheel and below the Large Central Screen, allowing quick access to key controls without using the touchscreen. In addition, a three‑finger gesture allows drivers to easily reposition app windows or instantly close unnecessary apps, supporting safer and more convenient interaction with in-vehicle applications.
At the heart of Pleos Connect is Gleo AI, an advanced voice assistant built on a large language model (LLM). The system is scheduled to be linked with a variety of application services, enabling customers to seamlessly use a wide range of app functions with voice commands alone.
