The success of our User Experience products continues as we win additional orders worth over €2 billion from global vehicle manufacturers for our pillar-to-pillar and OLED display solutions. The pillar-to-pillar display blends seamlessly into the #cockpit across the entire vehicle width and uses a continuous display. Drivers and passengers can operate the display intuitively, immersing themselves in an impressive #UserExperience. With our #OLED display, we bring to a global production vehicle a multi-display solution, which has self-illumination capabilities that do not require backlighting like conventional liquid crystal displays, resulting in extremely lightweight and slim units.

Jeff joined Continental back in 2015 and jumped at every opportunity for professional development that was offered to him. 🙌 He eventually came to a point where he felt that his salary could not keep up with his personal development in the company and his efforts were not reflected in what he earned.
