A seatbelt for every seat and airbags for the front seat occupants are the norm these days. While frontal and side airbag design has caught much of the limelight in terms of interior safety systems over the last decade, some vehicle makers are fitting safety equipment below the steering wheel in an effort to protect all parts of the occupant’s body. Although most of today’s safety systems are passive, manufacturers predict a move toward passiveactive.
New car assessment programmes, such as EuroNCAP have contributed toward raising consumer awareness of passive safety technologies. In turn, their heightened awareness has led safety campaigners to put further pressure on legislators to raise standards.
The delivery value content per vehicle has risen 70% over the last ten years to around $230 per car today. With no signs of abatement, manufacturers expect year-on-year growth of around 5%. The real growth will occur as adaptive airbag systems permeate the North American marketplace. Manufacturers say these early systems will increase the supply value by as much as 50%. In Europe, double pre-tensioning system fitment to each seat and side airbag protection is also spelling out good news for manufacturers.
