Continental product lines now include VDO and ATE

VDO and ATE brands are now part of the Continental Corporation’s product portfolio. The addition of the VDO lines of electric motors, engine management, instrumentation and door systems comes as part of the acquisition of Siemens VDO AG by Continental AG. The ATE lines of brake rotors, pads, and service parts had already been part of the Continental portfolio.

Along with the VDO and ATE lines, Continental now offers a complete line of tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) replacement parts under the Continental brand.

According to David Mestdagh, director, North American Aftermarket Operations, Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket, Interior Division, Continental, “Our aftermarket group is already enjoying the benefits of the Siemens VDO acquisition. It is a perfect fit of people and products and will allow us to offer our customers the products, programs and services of two highly innovative companies, from one source, at very competitive prices and with unsurpassed quality. Our customers can also count on reliable fill rates, consistent category growth and regular new part number introductions, along with the sales programs, tools and services they need to increase their revenue opportunities.”

The VDO electric motor line includes HVAC blower, radiator and condenser fan motors and cooling fan assemblies. The door systems line includes power window motors, power window regulators and power window motor/regulator assemblies, as well as power door lock actuators. The VDO portfolio also includes engine management and fuel supply components.

The Continental TPMS Replacement Parts line includes valve and valveless sensor assemblies, and stainless steel wheel bands for valveless sensors.
