Autoliv, Polestar collaborate on climate-neutral car

Automotive safety systems provider Autoliv has announced its intent to collaborate with Polestar in its initiative, “Polestar 0.” The goal, the company says, is to develop a truly climate-neutral car by 2030.

Autoliv says it is committed to being the first automotive safety supplier to become carbon neutral in its own operations by 2030 and aims for net-zero emissions across its supply chain by 2040.

Autoliv and Polestar intend to research and develop technology aiming at finding climate-neutral solutions and innovations related to automotive safety such as pyrotechnics, textiles and new generations of materials for airbags and seatbelts, the companies say.

The latest forecasts from global technology intelligence firm ABI Research found that global EV sales are expected to grow by 21% in 2024 and 19% in 2025. This represents a significant decline from growth rates of 31% in 2023 and 60% in 2022, ABI Research said.

"A shortage of chargers and limited ranges are not to blame for this decline. It's evident from sales data and statements by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that the EV market is slowing down and failing to meet its targets," Dylan Khoo, an electric vehicles industry analyst, said. "While insufficient charging infrastructure and range limitations are often cited as reasons for this slowdown, they don't fully explain the stagnation, especially considering that these aspects are actually improving rather than deteriorating. Additionally, these explanations fail to consider the region-specific trends driving the EV sector changes."
