With the spin-off of Continental Automotive, we are in a position to shape our future, including our brand and name. A company’s name is often the first touchpoint for all stakeholders, both internally and externally. Choosing the right brand name is of crucial importance for the connection to the company and perception of how it operates and does business.
We introduce AUMOVIO
AUMOVIO draws its roots from Automotive, grounding us firmly in the industry that defines our expertise. At the same time, it radiates a sense of innovation and forward momentum. It represents who we are, and who we want to become.
Closely connected to our company brand are our company values. Our brand's true power lies not in its design or slogans, but in its ability to inspire and unite us all in this company around our shared values. These values are our compass for how we perform and do business: the promise we make to ourselves and to the outside world. They are our foundation, and they will guide everything we do.

- Reliable – No Matter What
