Social commitment to traffic safety
For us, safety especially means taking responsibility and making a contribution
to society in terms of mobility and security on the roads. The numerous projects
that the Company sponsors as part of its “We reward your safety” initiative, aimed
at making the way to
and from school safer,
is a good example of
our commitment. We
also actively support
the European Road
Safety Charter that
strives to reduce traffic
fatalities by half
within the EU.
Safety – a driving ambition.
Safety as a decisive future factor
The stricter requirements being demanded by legislators and
drivers are further increasing demand for active and passive
vehicle safety components and systems on a worldwide
scale. With our combined expertise in driver assistance systems,
environment sensors, telematics, tire technologies and
electronic brake systems, Continental will decisively drive forward
the integration of active and passive safety systems and
set new standards with innovative systems for traffic management
and accident prevention.
ContiGuard ®
Our ContiGuard safety concept makes a decisive contribution
to optimally protecting people on the roads. By networking
active and passive safety systems and integrating
camera and sensor technology, we make it possible to prevent
accidents or, when that is no longer possible, to minimize
the effects of an accident. That is our vision. And already
today, many components of ContiGuard are in use, for
instance to reduce stopping distances and to provide comprehensive
protection against injuries.
