Will continue to improve upon the technology and optimise costs through localisation

The Gurgaon plant currently supplies to OEMs across India and also to Malaysia.

Continental has announced the completion of one million units of Electronic Brake Systems (EBS) from its Gurgaon Plant. Continental set up a line for localization of Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) assembly, besides Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems, at Gurgaon in 2016.

With increasing awareness and acceptance of safety technologies in vehicles, India is emerging as a focus market for airbags, ABS and ESC, for light vehicles, 4-wheeler and 2-wheeler markets. Further to investments in 2016, the company set up a production line to localize ABS Electronic Control Units (ECU) in its Bangalore plant in 2018.

According to Krishan Kohli, Head of Continental's Vehicle Dynamics business in India, "Innovative technologies and intelligent systems for vehicles are imperative for a future with zero accidents. Continental is well-equipped to support India towards achieving this. We are actively pursuing our long-term strategy towards the realization of "Vision Zero". 

According to Anudeep Garg, Head of Operations for Vehicle Dynamics, in India, "We are continuously developing the technology of electronic brake systems, improving upon it, and also optimizing costs through localization. From the Gurgaon plant, we currently supply to OEMs across India and also to Malaysia. We are glad to achieve this milestone. Continental's electronic brake systems have been enhancing safety since 1984 globally. India is now a part of that legacy."
