Toyoda Gosei airbags for new Honda vehicle

Kiyosu, Japan – Toyoda Gosei has announced that its curtain airbags are being fitted on the new Honda Prelude sports coupe released in September.

According to TG, curtain airbags reduce impacts to the head by instantaneously deploying to cover the window glass during side collisions.

In rollover regulations, the airbags also play a role in preventing passengers from being thrown from the vehicle window, TG announced 21 Oct.

The new airbags, it said, can be installed in the limited interior space of coupes, while they also retain their inflated shape during vehicle rollovers.
