Continental Boosts AdvanceTrac and RSC Supply to Meet Demand

Continental AG has been awarded a major order by the Ford Motor Company. As a result, Continental will be stepping up its supply of stability control systems, to Ford. For the 2005 model year, AdvanceTrac with RSC will be standard equipment on Ford Explorer, mercury Mountaineer, Lincoln Navigator and Lincoln Aviator. The system will also be available on the Ford Expedition.

For Continental, the contract is big business. Insiders have mentioned that the deal is worth hundreds of millions of euros to the company. The contract is also a positive move for Ford and will give the company “a significant competitive advantage,” says Bill Kozyra, president and CEO of Continental Teves North America.

AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC) technology is an active stability enhancement that builds upon existing stability control systems on the market today.
