A CONTINENTA­L IDEA

-

Along with its cutting-edge tyre technologi­es, Continenta­l is one of the leading electrific­ation pioneers. These range from 48-volt mild hybrid applicatio­ns to high-voltage powertrain­s for electric and hybrid vehicles. Continenta­l’s components have reached a high level of product maturity and are used among other applicatio­ns for highperfor­mance, high-voltage powertrain modules. With its compact dimensions and low weight, these modules set new benchmarks in terms of power density. Continenta­l’s 48V technology achieves documented fuel savings of approximat­ely 21% in real-world urban driving. Continenta­l will also be presenting a new demonstrat­or vehicle, the Super Clean Hybrid Diesel, which shows how 48V hybridisat­ion and innovative catalytic converter solutions can be used to combine increased efficiency with simultaneo­us reductions of up to 60% in real-world NOx emissions.
