From the road to the cloud: Continental to present its unique portfolio at the IAA MOBILITY 2023.
'Making future mobility happen, today!' is Continental's tagline for this year's IAA MOBILITY in
Visitors to the trade fair will be able to experience Continental's latest solutions firsthand at booth B10 in hall A2. To kick off the fair, a press conference will be held with
The superbrain: intelligent high-performance vehicle computer
As well as advanced hardware, software is becoming increasingly important for the automotive industry. Continental is proactively helping to shape the transition to software-based cars, with around 21,000 software and IT specialists working on new and improved products such as high-performance computers (HPCs).
Smart Cockpit HPC
A new addition to Continental's extensive HPC portfolio is the Smart Cockpit HPC, a preconfigured system combining the instrument cluster, infotainment and advanced driver assistance systems. At the IAA MOBILITY, Continental and a tech-industry partner will show, using a demonstration vehicle (hall B2/booth A12), how the Smart Cockpit HPC can make the mobility of the future a reality at minimum cost and within a short development time.
Virtual development made easy with
With automotive manufacturers bringing new models to market faster and providing customers with regular software updates, we need new approaches to accelerate and broaden the development and testing of automotive software. Until now, most functional and safety problems could only be remedied once the physical electronic control unit (ECU) was available. Fixing problems in later phases sometimes resulted in up to a tenfold increase in development costs.
The solution is the new virtual
Integrated full-stack systems for assisted and automated driving
Toward an autonomous future
Continental continues to drive forward autonomous driving. In partnership with US semiconductor specialist Ambarella, the technology company is developing integrated full-stack systems for assisted and automated driving. These scalable multisensor systems operate using AI and a particularly powerful, energy-efficient chip system from Ambarella, as well as high-resolution cameras, radar and lidar sensors and associated control units from Continental. Continental and Ambarella recently received the first customer order for these jointly developed solutions as a complete Level 4 fallback system. At the trade show, Continental will provide insights into how the system solutions interact and make mobility more autonomous and safer.
Greater protection for vulnerable road users
The safety of vulnerable road users remains a top priority for Continental. Its main focus is on preventing and protecting against accidents due to driver error when turning, reversing and parking. In
Safe and sustainable brake systems
Brakes remain one of the most important safety features in vehicles. They not only have to contribute to driving safety in hazardous circumstances, but they must also enhance vehicle efficiency. In other words, they must help to reduce CO2 emissions and particle emissions (in the case of friction brakes). At the IAA MOBILITY, Continental will present its roadmap for future brake systems that increase safety and sustainability in equal measure.
Safe and sustainable brake systems
One example is a semi-dry brake system, which uses 'dry' electromechanical brakes on the rear axle that do not require brake fluid. The advantage for automotive manufacturers is that there is no need to fill and bleed the brake system during production. What is more, this reduces the amount of hazardous old brake fluid that has to disposed of properly after every change by many millions of liters.
SPACE D design concept
SPACE D design concept for wellness in the vehicle
The trend of cocooning emphasizes the importance of our homes as places of retreat, safety and comfort, with a big part of this being sustainable and convenient solutions. Wellness is set to play a major role in vehicle interiors as well, transforming vehicles into a new space to live in and enjoy. At the exhibition in
Also on show will be the surface materials Benova Eco Protect, which makes a lasting visual impression and is certified with the PETA label for vegan products, Acella, which is especially sustainable thanks to its bio-based raw materials and recycled content, as well as being highly customizable, and Xpreshn Hylite Concept, a translucent surface material that allows for new designs and functions. With their sustainability, attractive and natural design and versatile technology, these surfaces take comfort and driving to a whole new level.
UltraContact NXT
Enhanced sustainability on the road thanks to Continental tires
The UltraContact NXT shows how quickly sustainable products at Continental are going into production and onto the road.Continental first unveiled the most sustainable production tire in the industry at its TechShow this summer. Comprising up to 65 percent renewable, recycled and mass balance-certified materials, the UltraContact NXT combines a high share of sustainable materials with maximum safety. Production of the tire started in July, and all 19 sizes are now available to buy. They also have the highest possible rating ('A') of the EU tire label in the categories of rolling resistance, wet braking and exterior noise.
Continental's exceptional materials expertise is also reflected in a new concept tire that the company will present to the public for the first time at the IAA MOBILITY, with a focus on particularly energy-efficient urban driving.
