Telematic Unit

Customized telematics solutions.

Innovative, intelligent, intuitive.

The telematics systems send and receive vehicle information and remote vehicle commands via telecommunications (4G/5G, V2X). The telematics system connects the vehicle with the OEM, dealer, service station and driver/owner.

Heart of our connectivity solutions

Our Telematics Control Units (TCUs) offer a variety of sophisticated and useful features to ensure communication with other networks, vehicles and the cloud. The network access devices (NADs) developed by Continental and the telematics software framework enable the TCUs to be customized and adapted to regional guidelines and requirements.
 
Our telematics products offer a wide range of benefits, including improved security and an automatically or manually triggered emergency call option (eCall) in the event of an accident. Our telematics solutions make us your ideal partner for convenience and safety – both in the future and in the here and now!
