Continental Reaches Production Milestone Of One Million ABS And ESC ECU
The technology company Continental is producing one million Electronic Control Units (ECU) for passenger car Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), at its Bangalore plant. Continental plans to ramp up its production capabilities in the next few years with a capacity of over two million units a year.
With demand stimulated by India’s recent safety legislation, Continental is on the fast track to support the OEMs with safety products such as ABS, ESC and speed sensors for both passenger cars and 2-Wheelers. Continental began localizing ABS and ESC system in 2016, with product assembly at its Gurgaon plant, where they have completed over 2 million units already. The production for ECUs at its Bangalore plant was set up in January 2018.
Speaking on the occasion Krishan Kohli, Head of Vehicle Dynamics business unit, Continental Automotive India, said, “Our commitment to road safety reflects in our achievements of the recent past. With our complete localization value chain which includes R&D, sales and manufacturing, technologies become better suited and affordable for the market, for all segments of vehicles. Road safety is everyone’s right and Continental is committed to Vision Zero”.
