The Future in Motion: Making people mobile has always been one of our central visions. From hoof buffers for horses, tires for bicycles and automobiles to rubber components for aircraft and rail vehicles: Continental #products made mobility more efficient and affordable early on in the company’s history. 🤩 Did you know that at the same time Continental also produced a large range of travel guides, manuals and maps? 🤔 In many places, the roads were poorly signposted, which is why Continental, together with local authorities, put up sign posts to help drivers find their way around. So Continental was already a mobility service provider in the broader sense. It was not just about supplying products, but about promoting personal mobility. ☝🏻 The future of mobility will be determined by topics such as software, automation and sustainability. Just like in the past, we are developing innovative and forward-looking solutions to help people remain mobile in the future.
