Side protection is a fairly new aspect of vehicle passenger safety. With tremendous strides in saving lives due to frontal crashes, the next phase towards zero lives lost due to a vehicle crash is side impact and rollover protection. Head protection from side impact collisions and keeping the unbelted passenger in the vehicle during a rollover occurrence could save over 1,000 lives annually.
As one of the top global suppliers of complete automotive safety systems, Takata is active in the growing market for side, head-side curtain and rollover airbag modules. The company will continue to meet or exceed the highest standards for these products as demand continues to grow and requirements become more stringent.
Looking to the future, Takata will also apply its innovations in advanced sensing and integrated control electronics to side impact protection in order to further its mission of saving lives. (See Electronics Products Section).
