At Auto Shanghai 2025, Continental highlights innovative braking technologies, reinforcing its commitment to safe mobility and the Vision Zero goal of eliminating road crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Showcased from April 23 to May 2, 2025, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, these advancements align with trends in electrification, modularization, and highly automated driving, offering efficient and sustainable solutions for the future of mobility.
Key Highlights:
- Future Brake System (FBS): A roadmap toward fully electro-mechanical braking, adapting to electrification and automation trends.
- Integrated Brake-by-Wire System: Combines master cylinder, brake booster, and control systems into a compact module, reducing weight by nearly 30%.
- Electro-Mechanical Brakes: Eliminates brake fluid, lowering maintenance costs and enhancing environmental sustainability.
- Electric Caliper: Part of the “fully dry” system, improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
- Multi-Logic Architecture: Supports both distributed and centralized electronic/electrical (E/E) architectures for flexible integration.
Continental’s Future Brake System (FBS) represents a strategic approach to next-generation braking, designed to meet the demands of electrified and autonomous vehicles. The Integrated Brake-by-Wire System streamlines components into a single, lightweight module, significantly reducing system weight by nearly 30% while maintaining high performance. This system’s multi-logic architecture ensures compatibility with various vehicle architectures, enhancing adaptability for manufacturers.
A standout innovation is Continental’s electro-mechanical brake solutions, which eliminate the need for brake fluid, creating a “fully dry” system. This reduces maintenance costs and minimizes environmental impact, aligning with sustainability goals. The electric caliper, a key component of this system, enhances efficiency and supports the transition to greener mobility. These technologies, displayed at Continental’s booth, demonstrate the company’s leadership in developing safer, more sustainable braking systems, contributing to the evolution of the automotive industry toward a crash-free future.
