Technology company Continental's former powertrain division will be known as Vitesco Technologies. This was announced recently by the Continental. The new Vitesco Technologies has been operating independently since January 2019, has rolled-out its new brand identity at its approximately 50 locations worldwide.
The headquarters of Vitesco Technologies is located at Siemensstrasse in Regensburg. The headquarters has the new logo visible from the roof. The external appearance is taken care with a modern website as well as a social media presence on various platforms worldwide.
Andreas Wolf, CEO, Vitesco Technologies, said, "Our goal is clean and sustainable mobility. That's why we make the core of every vehicle - the drivetrain - smart and electric. I am very pleased about our new dynamic brand identity. It underlines our clear claim to leadership in clean drives, today and in the future."
With Vitesco Technologies' autonomy, Continental is reacting to the rapidly changing requirements for vehicle drives affected by radical change. In part the drastic reduction of emissions is at the top of the political and social agenda around the world. Depending on the region, this development progresses at different speeds.
"Flexibility is the order of the day. From a global perspective, all types of drivetrains are in demand. Our mission is to make them all clean, efficient, and affordable. This can be done through consistent electrification. As an independent company we can now respond more quickly and efficiently to the demands of our industry, and better leverage our strengths. We want to play a leading part in the electrification of the drivetrain." said Wolf.
The name ‘Vitesco’ is derived from Latin ‘vita’ which means life. It represents energy, speed, and agility. The addition ‘Technologies’ reinforces the claim as a provider of innovative, pioneering technologies, systems, and services for sustainable mobility. With its flowing shapes, the ‘Vitesco’ logo also stands for passion, dynamism and movement. It represents the counterpart to the ‘Technologies’ addition.
The drivetrain business is currently undergoing the greatest change of all time, but with an estimated 50 percent share of electric and hybrid vehicles by 2030, it offers great opportunities in the field of electromobility. In particular, the mild hybridisation of combustion engines will be of enormous importance in the coming years.
Vitesco Technologies has developed broad and comprehensive know-how in the drive sector over decades. This also applies particularly to the rapidly growing electromobility market.
