“We are upbeat about the growth potential of products, software and services that enrich the user experience (UX) of vehicle drivers and passengers in India. The user experience is becoming the key product differentiator for vehicle manufacturers and buying decisions by consumers are influenced by UX more than ever.“The global market is growing significantly, and the value share is also increasing in India. As a global market leader in this field, we have received some significant orders in 2020 to continue our growth journey here,” said Prasad C Basappa, Head of Business Unit Human Machine Interface in India.
For this reason, the recent capacity augmentation in Bangalore for HMI supports Continental’s philosophy of ‘In the market, for the market’, the company said.
“In addition to supporting the local market, our products manufactured in India continue to be used on cars that some vehicle manufacturers export to different markets in Asia, North America, Europe and Africa”, Prasad C Basappa concludes.
Continental said it also continues to ramp up the HMI R&D capability in India, seeing the immense potential for growth in HMI related software, it said adding the company is also on the lookout for appropriate opportunities to utilize this competence for the Indian market, by partnering with local OEMs which are looking to increase the interior electronic content.
