Continental continues to drive forward research and development in the area of assisted and automated driving – with the aim of making the (electric) mobility of the future along with its new functions and services safer, more efficient and convenient.
Intelligent concepts for new worlds of experience in the vehicle interior are a main criterion for purchasing a vehicle. Continental is therefore pursuing a holistic approach that combines design, technology, interaction and integration and makes the vehicle an integral part of the user's digital life.
Sustainable technologies in cars make an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions in passenger transport. But it is not only the electric drive system and the batteries that have to meet high sustainability standards. As customers increasingly turn away from materials of animal origin. Continental’s surface specialists are devoting more and more attention to sustainable, animal-free and recycled or upcycled materials for the interior.
Electrification has brought new challenges to vehicle brakes. Electric cars brake differently than those with combustion engines and do so to a large extent automatically using the electric motor to recover brake energy.
For greater range, fast charging and a longer battery life, a sophisticated thermal management system with several cooling circuits is indispensable. Essential here are special hoses and lines that cool the battery and the extremely sensitive power electronics.
Continental is using its decades of experience in development and combining it with findings from a variety of practical tests and collaborations to adapt its entire tire portfolio to the specific requirements of drive systems beyond combustion engines. In essence, the aim here is to achieve continuous optimization in terms of safety, efficiency and comfort.
Electric cars are increasingly setting themselves apart through their digital capabilities for motorists. The first high-performance computer in volume production worldwide, the so-called body high-performance computer (HPC), from Continental is a key part of the transition to an integrated and centralized vehicle architecture for connected and increasingly automated driving.
