Intelligent Services and Software-Defined Commercial Vehicles

The transport industry is rapidly becoming digitalized, leading to increased automation and therefore greater efficiency. Vehicles today must be designed to deliver the (real-time) data and respective soft- and hardware that managers and processing systems need. With seamless connectivity functions and software-defined architectures, Continental enables the use of real-time data-driven services that increase process automation and efficiency, reduce costs and downtimes and comply with legal requirements. 

  • With our cutting-edge HPCs and software alongside a complete ecosystem spanning from the road to the cloud, we enable the software-defined vehicle (SDV) as well as autonomous driving functions. 
  • Our Automotive Edge framework CAEdge,a cloud-based development environment facilitates efficient, safe, and rapid development and testing of vehicle software. CAEdge is the base for several pre-development projects we are currently working on with various OEMs to design the commercial vehicle architecture of the future. 
  • Our intelligent global tachograph solutions contribute to increased road safety and fairer competition by helping to enforce the regulations of the EU Mobility Package and providing safe and reliable data services: the smart tachograph DTCO 4.1 and the plug-and-play solution VDO Link
  • The two new versions of our ContiConnect digital tire management solutions are designed to enhance process automation and efficiency using real-time data. The first, ContiConnect Lite, is a mobile-only solution that offers quick and cost-effective tire monitoring via Bluetooth-transferred sensor data. The second, ContiConnect Pro, provides a comprehensive digital tire management system with predictive services, offering detailed fleet tire health information, alerts, and data display through a web portal and mobile app. 
At Continental, we are committed to driving the digital transformation of the transport industry forward. Our innovative solutions in software-defined vehicles and intelligent services are setting new standards for efficiency, safety, and connectivity. Together with our partners, we are shaping the future of mobility.
