WINNER: Integrating brake-by-wire into a smaller module
Continental AG
WHAT: MK C2 one-box brake system
INNOVATION: Continental’s second-generation brake-by-wire system, MK C2, integrates the master cylinder, brake booster and control systems into a single compact and lightweight module for 100 percent efficient regenerative braking. The module’s reduced size, weight and number of components allow for simpler installation. And combining the system with a hydraulic brake extension gives it a redundant fallback for automated driving.
