HANOVER, Germany (Jan. 27)—Continental A.G. is expanding its engineering services for auto makers and their suppliers to create a separate profit center with potential sales of tens of millions of dollars.
"In the area of vehicle dynamics and suspension control in particular we are filling a niche that to date has hardly been tackled by engineering service providers, as only very few companies have the required broad technical knowledge of automotive brakes, chassis, electronics and tires," said Karl-Thomas Neumann, Continental executive board member.
Conti's engineering services include its Electronic Brake and Safety Systems business unit, the NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) Engineering unit and the research and development department of ContiTech A.G.
