Continental To Partner On EV Drive Brake Unit

As their first breakthrough, both companies will jointly develop a combined unit comprising drive and brake components for mounting directly on the vehicle wheel. Deep Drive is a specialist in the development of efficient electric motors, with many years of experience in large scale automobile production. Continental, in turn, contributes its technological know-how in brake systems and its expertise in the industrialisation of innovative technologies. “With Deep Drive, we have gained a strong partner with whom we can jointly and sustainably advance the market penetration of electric mobility,” says Matthias Matic, Head of Continental’s Safety and Motion Business area. “The electric motors developed by Deep Drive extend the range of electric vehicles. They are lighter, more economical, and more resource efficient. Combining all that with our efficient, high-performance brake technology to produce a new, compact unit is a decisive contribution to the success of electric mobility. What belongs together grows together here.”
