Continental Achieves 200 Million Radar Sensors Milestone, Secures €1.5 Billion Orders

Continental has reached a significant milestone by producing 200 million radar sensors, underscoring its leadership in automotive safety technology with over 20% market share. The company has secured major series orders worth approximately €1.5 billion from various vehicle manufacturers, with production planned to start in 2026 and 2027. This rapid growth reflects the increasing demand for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and paves the way for autonomous driving, as radar sensors are critical for vehicle safety and comfort features like adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, blind-spot detection, and parking assistance. Since developing the world's first automotive radar system in 1999 for the Mercedes S-Class, Continental has significantly advanced radar technology, making modern systems smaller, more powerful, and capable of 360-degree monitoring. Ismail Dagli, head of Continental's Autonomous Mobility business, emphasized that these milestones highlight the company's pioneering spirit and commitment to customized high-tech solutions for the automotive market. Continental's radar sensors remain essential components driving future mobility innovations and enhanced safety on roads worldwide.
