User Experience to remain a Continental Automotive business

,

As reported yesterday, Continental intends to spin-off its Automotive group sector by the end of 2025. With the company preparing to part ways with a sector that employs 100,000 people and generated sales of around €20.3 billion in the past fiscal year, Continental has decided to suspend the previously announced carve-out of the User Experience business area “for the foreseeable future.” This business area will therefore remain part of Automotive.
