Continental’s spun-off automotive wing will make its debut as an independent company called Aumovio at next month’s IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich.
The company’s auto division had been part of the ContiTech unit that Continental decided to off-load in April following a slowdown in vehicle production in Europe and the economic threats posed by the imposition of vehicle import tariffs by the U.S.
The newly minted supplier says it will be showcasing its latest vehicle technologies at the Munich show, divided into four sectors: safe, inspiring, connected and autonomous.
Technologies on view by Aumovio will include a sustainable brake technology for electric vehicles, with no hydraulic fluid and developed to boost range while limiting weight (Green Electric Caliper); a scalable system composed of hardware and software for assisted and automated driving, and including an artificial intelligence-powered night vision camera (Scalable Xelve); a software-defined platform (Road to Cloud) for connected vehicles; and a modular chassis unit, with braking, drive, steering and suspension systems integrated into a next-gen corner module and featuring 150-degree wheel-specific steering for improved maneuverability, the supplier says.
“We are bundling our expertise into one company that is focused on key technologies,” Aumovio CEO Philipp von Hirschheydt says in a statement. “The IAA Mobility 2025 is the ideal platform to introduce Aumovio to the automotive world.”
