Autoliv Inc. (NYSE:ALV) on Tuesday announced it has developed its first fully integrated wearable airbag vest for motorcycle riders, partnering with RS Taichi to bring the product to market.
The RS Taichi Airbag Vest T-SABE is designed to reduce injury risk in crashes and marks Autoliv’s expansion beyond its core automotive safety business into motorcycle protection.
“The collaboration with RS Taichi serves as another milestone in delivering on our commitment to expand mobility safety and develop cutting-edge protective systems for motorcycle riders,” said Fabien Dumont, Autoliv’s Chief Technology Officer.
RS Taichi said the vest combines safety with comfort for real-world riding. The system is built as a scalable platform adaptable across riding styles and markets.
The product will debut at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show from March 27-29, 2026.
