Continental company showcased selected technologies from its portfolio at the #STOPTHECRASH India, organised by the award-winning international road safety charity Global NCAP on September 26, at Greater Noida. Continental, as one of the partners of the “Stop the Crash” campaign, demonstrated 2-wheeler safety technologies – MiniMAB (one channel ABS for motorcycles) and MK 100 MAB (two channel ABS for motorcycles).
As the world’s biggest 2-wheeler market, the government-mandated safety norms for 2-wheelers effective April 2019 will significantly reduce the number of accidents. Continental’s solution for smaller motorcycles and scooters, a one-channel ABS called MiniMAB was demonstrated at the event. MiniMAB is a small and lightweight solution for small 2-wheelers, which prevents the front wheel from locking up in case of sudden braking by the driver, thus avoiding an accident or the vehicle becoming instable.
The company also demonstrated MK 100 MAB, the next generation of the existing two-channel ABS system. This is significantly smaller, lighter, and more easily applicable to new types of motorcycles – and the system is also more price competitive.
“With one of the world’s highest numbers of road accidents and fatalities, India has to adopt relevant technologies, implement regulation and ensure enforcement to realize Vision Zero – Zero Fatalities, Zero Injuries, Zero Accidents. Today’s crash avoidance technologies are capable of preventing many types of vehicle collision before they happen. Continental has partnered with Global NCAP’s for Stop the Crash to create awareness of these life-saving technologies,” explained Prashanth Doreswamy, Head of Continental India.
