In December, the last company presentation of the year was organized when we had the privilege of listening to Anders Trapp, VP Investor Relations, at Autoliv. During the last year, Autoliv saved 35,000 lives, avoided 450,000 accidents/injuries and has a future ambition to save 100,000 lives annually. The company primarily manufactures and sells airbags, seat belts and steering wheels – often as a whole, in line with the demands of car manufacturers. Autoliv increases the delivery value per car around 2% annually and to this is added the general growth of car production, which of course can look different depending on the market. Anders believes in growth in the automotive industry for a long time, partly based on the fact that more developed public transport and car pools etc. are only relevant and attractive in cities in the Western world. In a stagnant car market, however, Autoliv can be expected to grow around 4% annually and Anders also emphasizes how Autoliv has historically been good at taking market shares
