What Aumovio makes

Aumovio is the automotive electronics business that Continental spun off in September 2025, and its portfolio reads like the electronic content list of a modern vehicle. The company organizes it into four business areas. Autonomous and Commercial Mobility covers radar and camera sensors and driver-assistance systems, where the company reports top-3 market positions, plus an as-a-service model for autonomous trucking. Architecture and Network Solutions builds high-performance computers, telematics units, body control modules, digital access, and the sensors and actuators underneath software-defined vehicles. Safety and Motion carries more than 100 years of brake heritage: the company describes itself as the global market leader in brake systems, a pioneer in dry brakes, and in September 2026 it unveiled a distributed electrohydraulic brake system that already has a first series order. User Experience produces displays, including OLED and head-up displays, digital clusters, and camera and audio products. The VDO brand covers tachographs and commercial-vehicle electronics, and the ATE brand anchors its independent aftermarket business, which debuted at Automechanika in September 2026.

The company states that products holding top-3 market positions generated 80 percent of FY2025 sales, and that its foundation electronics reach virtually all incumbent OEMs. It runs more than 80 locations globally, with AI development centers in Budapest and Romania and a corporate lab in Singapore.

Financial performance

Aumovio generated adjusted sales of 18.5 billion euros in fiscal 2025 with around 82,000 employees, per the company's own published figures. A 2026 industry study of the top automotive suppliers lists the same revenue and a reported EBIT margin of minus 0.4 percent, placing Aumovio 16th globally by automotive revenue in its first year as an independent company. No 2024 comparative exists because the business was reported inside Continental until the spin-off.

The first half of 2026 was harder: adjusted sales of 8,649 million euros, down 8.9 percent year over year, and adjusted EBIT of 157 million euros at a 1.8 percent margin, per the company's interim report. Management specified its 2026 guidance in August 2026 after settling legal disputes with BMW. The strategy program it presents to investors is built around three words, Lead, Transform, Deliver: expand leading product positions, optimize the portfolio and cost base, and deliver on financial targets.

Ownership and history

Aumovio SE is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, where it began trading on September 18, 2025 at a debut valuation of roughly 3.4 to 3.7 billion euros. The listing completed Continental's spin-off of its Automotive group sector, a business whose lineage runs back more than a century through Continental's safety and electronics operations and the VDO and ATE brands. The company is headquartered at Guerickestrasse 7 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

The executive board is new by construction: Philipp von Hirschheydt, CEO since March 2025, also leads the User Experience business area. Dr. Jutta A. Doenges joined as CFO on November 1, 2025. Ingo Holstein serves as Chief Human Resources Officer, and each of the three other business areas is led by its own board member.

Certifications and quality

Aumovio group entities hold IATF 16949:2016 certification, the automotive quality standard expected of a Tier-1 supplier at this scale. A certification-body registry shows a certificate for AUMOVIO Germany GmbH dated December 18, 2024, with a scope covering design and manufacturing of control and information systems, alongside ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and ISO 45001 certifications at group level and IATF-registered entities in Hungary, China, and Germany. As with any multinational with 80-plus sites, certification is managed per entity rather than under one certificate.

Known customers

Aumovio states that its foundation electronics business has access to virtually all incumbent OEMs, a claim consistent with its Continental heritage but published here as the company's own characterization.

In US customs data, the renamed Aumovio Systems entity in Morganton, North Carolina shows 2,121 import shipments on record with activity as recent as September 16, 2026. Bill-of-lading records are ocean-freight only and post-date the entity renaming, so they understate the group's total North American flows.
