Continental is set to undergo its most far-reaching transformation in over 150 years. Continental CEO Nikolai Setzer reiterated this sentiment in his speech at today’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in Hanover. “This is what we are laying the groundwork for.” He highlighted Continental’s courage to embrace change and its ability to tackle challenges head-on, as demonstrated time and again in the company’s history. “Change is part of our identity,” he said.

Let us take a look into the future and see – through the eyes of an autonomous truck – how humans and machines will work hand in hand.
