Smart helmet maker Shenzhen Qianhai Livall loT Technology is in talks with China’s leading food delivery firms about intelligent helmets that will improve the safety of their riders.
A major maker of such helmets globally, the company was founded in 2014. It started with the manufacture of smart sports helmets before gradually extending production to urban road motorcycle helmets.
“Growing demand for online food delivery services in recent years has increased concerns about their deliverymen’s safety. Smart helmets provide solutions for riders’ safety and let them connect with the world while they are riding,” Zheng Bo, the company’s founder, said in an interview with the Post.
Zheng did not identify any of Livall’s clients, but said mass production of smart helmets for food delivery apps and ride-sharing platforms could start this year.
