On October 9, 2025, Autoliv Inc. announced the formation of a new joint venture with Hangsheng Electric Co., Ltd. (HSAE), a leading Chinese automotive electronics developer. The partnership will focus on developing and manufacturing advanced safety electronics for the rapidly growing Chinese automotive market. Autoliv will hold a 40 % stake in the venture, while HSAE will own 60 %.
The joint venture is expected to be formally established in the first quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals from relevant Chinese authorities. Its headquarters and production facilities will be located strategically near Shanghai, close to several existing Autoliv sites in China, to leverage local supply chain advantages and proximity to key OEM customers.
Strategically, the alliance positions Autoliv to combine its global safety leadership with HSAE’s deep expertise in automotive electronics. By integrating safety systems with advanced infotainment and driver‑environment technologies, the venture aims to deliver more comprehensive, integrated safety solutions to Chinese OEMs and potentially to international customers manufacturing in China. This move is intended to strengthen Autoliv’s competitive moat in a market where safety technology integration is becoming increasingly critical.
