Autoliv provides update at Detroit automotive conference


(Detroit, January 14, 2015) – – – Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV, and SSE: ALIV sdb),
the worldwide leader in automotive safety today provides several updates in a
speech by its CEO, President and Chairman Mr. Jan Carlson at Deutsche Bank’s
Global Auto Industry Conference, held in conjunction with the North American
International Auto Show in Detroit.
Active safety revenues in 2014 reached around $490 million, essentially reaching
the $0.5 billion target one year ahead of the plan established in late 2011. The
Company is now preparing for the next level of active safety and automated
driving features in addition to its current focus of selling vision, night
vision and radar products and systems.

The future offering will continue to provide world-leading sensing products, but
will additionally include highly-automated system integration capabilities
needed for future cars. Autoliv intends to be one of the leading system
suppliers in active safety moving toward autonomous driving. The Company is
continuously building its electronics business and capabilities, and now targets
to reach $2 billion in sales for 2019 in its new electronics business segment
which became operational on January 1, 2015, out of which around $1 billion will
be active safety sales. The electronics business segment includes passive safety
electronics and active safety.

In today’s situation with record safety related recalls in the automotive
industry the focus on quality as a number one priority is more important than
ever. Related to the current airbag quality issues with another supplier,
Autoliv has agreements with several different OEM’s for new supply capacity of
up to 25 million airbag inflators for delivery during 2015 and 2016 and is in
discussions for the supply of millions of additional units. Autoliv is expanding
its capacity and capabilities to meet this demand as rapidly as possible.

Autoliv intends to hold a capital market day on June 2-3, 2015 in Sweden.
