Continental has announced the closing of its acquisition of Singapore based mobility intelligence provider Quantum Inventions. Quantum Inventions will add to Continental's growing intelligent transportation systems portfolio with its city data including next generation navigation systems that are highly responsive to real-time information such as traffic data, road incident information and dynamic road pricing.

With the closing, Continental welcomes around 120 employees working across Quantum Inventions' three offices in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia; and Quantum Inventions Development Centre (QIDC) in India into its fold.

Helmut Matschi, member of the Executive Board at Continental and head of the Interior Division said, "Asia continues to play an ever increasing role in our strategy. Initiatives such as the Park & Go real time parking application for Singapore, our recent joint venture with China Unicom, strategic cooperation with Baidu, and now the purchase of Quantum Inventions underline our focus on developing mobility services solutions. We are excited to provide an expanded portfolio of customized solutions in the dynamic mobility services market."
