For most people, engine power is an indicator of driving pleasure – but it takes tires, chassis systems, control technology and brakes to put the power on the road. Optimum power transmission, best deceleration, maximum safety: the strong brands of the Continental Group are the partners for all those who set store by highest quality. As a result, our products are the first choice in original equipment for many automakers. ATE was and is a pioneer of technical innovations that no one can imagine a car to be without today: among other things we are the inventors of the hydraulic brake system and development partners for driver assistance and braking systems.  | | Divisions of the Continental Group.

The ATE brand in the overall portfolio of Continental For all brake replacement parts there is the established brand ATE: Here you find wearing and hydraulic parts as high-quality replacements, or for retrofitting and optimizing, for greater motoring safety and pleasure. Continuous research and further development, experience with large-scale series and in motor sport make our products the best-selling supplied parts in the automobile industry. Another distinguishing feature of ATE: the best possible support for our partners at garages. Optimum availability, service support, offers of basic and advanced training ensure cutting-edge expertise and strengthen a garage's position in the regional market. On the way to the communicating vehicle Vehicle technology is getting ever more sophisticated, and electronic components increasingly are being built into cars even in the lower price categories. And there is no end in sight to this: the intelligent, communicating car that detects imminent accidents and avoids them is the goal of the manufacturers' design departments.Achieving this objective calls for networking experts and partners with individual fortes. Continental's Automotive Systems division has the best qualifications for such work: the incorporation of new areas extends the product portfolio and improves possibilities for cooperation. In particular the new unit, Telematics, exactly fits in with the strategy for the future and with the technological trends.
