What AUMOVIO does

AUMOVIO is a Frankfurt-headquartered automotive technology company that completed its strategic spin-off from Continental AG in September 2025 and now operates as an independent publicly traded entity on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The company designs and manufactures a full-stack portfolio of vehicle electronics spanning sensors (radar, camera, ultrasonic, LiDAR-related fusion), electronic control units, brake systems, airbag control units, display modules, and high-performance computing (HPC) platforms for software-defined vehicles, plus the Elektrobit automotive software stack with code deployed in 630M+ vehicles globally. Underlying technology includes server-zone (HPC + zonal) E/E architectures, AI-driven engineering workflows via the cloud-based vSDV Composer platform, and an internal AI Hub with 1,500+ agents supporting 21,000+ employees. The company co-develops and manufactures the Aurora Driver autonomous trucking system with production starting 2027, runs the neueHCT joint venture with Horizon Robotics for mass-market ADAS in China, and operates a CSI segment covering commercial vehicles, fleets, and off-highway machinery.

AUMOVIO generates revenue through direct enterprise sales to global automotive OEMs (Volkswagen, Ford, BYD, Hyundai, Audi, Leapmotor, Tesla, Rivian, Aurora) under multi-year, multi-billion-dollar supply and co-development contracts, with hardware comprising the dominant share. The VDO brand serves European commercial fleet operators with subscription-based fleet management and tachograph services, now opened to third-party integrations through standardized APIs in partnership with Samsara. AUMOVIO Aftermarket (including the 120-year-old ATE brake brand) distributes replacement parts, diagnostic tools, and services to independent workshops and dealers globally. The vSDV Composer platform is offered via freemium, standard subscription, and enterprise tiers, while EMS/Build-to-Print services monetize automotive-grade manufacturing capacity for customer-owned designs. Pricing for OEM components is governed by negotiated multi-year contracts rather than public list prices.

The company operates a global manufacturing and R&D footprint across Germany (headquarters, Ingolstadt, Hannover, Berlin), India (Bengaluru GCC of ~6,000 employees, 10M+ ACUs produced since 2016), the United States (New Braunfels, Texas ADAS hub with $110M expansion underway), Mexico (Querétaro and Jalisco R&D with 160+ patents), China (Changchun, exporting to 20+ countries), Serbia, Romania, Hungary, and Singapore (NTU Corporate Lab). FY 2025 revenue of €18.5 billion was down ~5% YoY against a challenging auto market, while adjusted operating profit grew 45.4% to €717M (margin 3.9%, up from 2.5%), reflecting aggressive restructuring that includes ~4,000 R&D position cuts globally by end of 2026, with a defense-contractor partnership with Hensoldt absorbing ~600 affected engineers from southern Germany.
