Vehicle safety systems

Vision Zero: safe Vehicles

Safety on the roads is no coincidence, but the result of continuous work on precise and reliable vehicle safety systems. Every day, we use our expertise to minimize the risk of accidents and thereby protect human lives. As a technology partner, we are driving forward the development of safe vehicles for future mobility. Our focus is on innovative safety technologies that help to reduce the impact of potential accidents. Vision Zero is our guiding principle - striving for a future without road deaths or injuries.
