ZF is spinning off its "Passive Safety Technology" division into independence. What will become of ZF Lifetec, a profitable specialist for airbags, seat belt, and steering wheel systems, with an annual turnover of 4.6 billion euros?

ZF Lifetec had invited media representatives to a technology presentation on the former airfield in Penzing near Landsberg, Germany. Experts from the company demonstrated the future of passive safety systems using experimental setups and models. The new safety features will in the future increasingly utilize the sensor infrastructure and camera technology available in and on the vehicle to react proactively. For instance, to keep passengers stable and safe in their seats during an automated emergency braking or to use airbags in an even more situation-appropriate and effective manner.
