AUMOVIO and the BMW Group have entered into a far-reaching, long-term supply and development agreement to strengthen their business relationship and expand their technology partnership. The planned order volume amounts to more than €1 billion.

The agreement focuses on collaborative series projects involving state-of-the-art brake technologies and electronics solutions. These include AUMOVIO’s integrated MK C2 brake system, brake calipers and additional electronic control solutions for future vehicle platforms.

“The agreement with the BMW Group is an important step for us to strengthen our business relationship. It demonstrates confidence in our innovative brake technology and at the same time motivates us to further advance the partnership between our companies and jointly shape the future of mobility,” said Philipp von Hirschheydt, CEO of AUMOVIO.

For the MK C2, the companies have agreed to expand series deliveries through the mid-2030s.

The MK C2 is AUMOVIO’s integrated one-box brake system that combines the master cylinder, brake booster and control functions, including the anti-lock braking system and electronic stability control, in a compact and lightweight module.

The system increases functionality and availability while supporting key requirements of modern vehicle platforms, including faster autonomous brake pressure build-up, efficient regenerative braking and functions for highly automated driving.

As part of the agreement, the two companies will amicably settle all pending legal proceedings related to an integrated brake system that AUMOVIO, formerly Continental’s Automotive group sector, produced for the BMW Group. AUMOVIO will make payments totalling €350 million under the settlement.
