• Megatrend: safety
  The Chassis and Safety division aims to increase road safety. We already have leading market position in technologies with direct and significant influence on reducing the number of fatal traffic accidents. These include driver assistance systems, airbag control devices and electronic brake systems. In the tire sectors, we are focusing on the safety features of precise transmission of forces, short braking distances, and maximum tracking stability.

• Megatrend: environment
  The Powertrain division is a world leader in developing environmentally-friendly technologies. Our piezo injection system, for example, has set new standards for gasoline and diesel engines in terms of fuel economy and emission reduction.  Other divisions also contribute to reducing emissions and fuel consumption: Chassis & Safety, for example, with its driver assistance systems, intelligent gas pedal, and regenerative braking; the tire divisions with their rolling-resistance-optimized tires; and ContiTech with low-permeation hose lines and powertrain management components.

• Megatrend: information
  As market leader in the field telematics, the interior division develops solutions for providing drivers and passengers with all the information they need and keeping them in touch with the outside world.
