The new strut mount from ContiTech also enhances ride comfort. This highly durable, extremely comfortable, and innovative strut mount was developed in close cooperation with the customer. "Key to success was the early integration of our customer in the development process, which meant that we were involved in system design right from the outset and could contribute our specialist experience," reports Stefan Wöhler, a developer at ContiTech Vibration Control.  

ContiTech Vibration Control has been developing light weight products, using BASF Ultramid material, for the automotive industry since 2006. Product solutions include heavy-duty engine mounts, with the annual production volume in 2013 exceeding three million. In 2009 ContiTech Vibration Control also launched a lightweight transmission cross member from the lightweight material to support the forces and torques of the engine transmission unit.

The weight is 50 percent less compared to an aluminum component. In 2014, ContiTech presented the first rear axle transmission cross member made from this high-performance polyamide. ContiTech has already delivered millions of torque rod supports and torque reaction mounts made from polyamide.
