AUMOVIO is expanding into charging infrastructure with a new VDO-branded portfolio combining AC and DC chargers with vehicle technology and digital fleet management, including applications for electric bus depots. The new solutions will make their debut at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover and are designed for commercial vehicle fleets operating electric buses, trucks and special-purpose [...] 9 September 2026 By Editorial staff AUMOVIO is expanding into charging infrastructure with a new VDO-branded portfolio combining AC and DC chargers with vehicle technology and digital fleet management, including applications for electric bus depots. The new solutions will make their debut at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover and are designed for commercial vehicle fleets operating electric buses, trucks and special-purpose vehicles at depots, fleet yards and company sites, according to information reported by its sister media Sustainable Truck & Van. The portfolio extends AUMOVIO's activities from onboard vehicle technologies into charging infrastructure and its integration with fleet operations. For bus operators, the offering combines physical charging equipment with vehicle and charging data through the VDO Fleet Ecosystem. AUMOVIO became an independent company in September 2025 following the spin-off of Continental's former Automotive group sector. The technology and electronics company develops solutions across vehicle safety, connectivity, electronics and automated and autonomous driving. The company is also active in bus and coach components with ProViu Mirror, a digital rear-view system using high-resolution cameras and in-cab displays to replace conventional exterior mirrors. AUMOVIO targets electric bus depots with VDO charging infrastructure. The new VDO charging infrastructure portfolio includes AC and DC charging stations, ranging from mobile charging equipment to high-power systems for fleet applications. Electric bus depots are among the applications specifically identified by AUMOVIO, alongside logistics and distribution operations, municipal and industrial fleets and company sites. Charging installations can also be combined with energy infrastructure including photovoltaic generation and battery storage. The charging equipment is designed to connect with the VDO Fleet Ecosystem rather than operate as a standalone infrastructure layer. Data from vehicles, chargers and other digital applications can be combined within the platform, providing information on charging status, energy consumption, vehicle availability and active charging sessions. For bus fleet operations, the system can therefore provide information on which vehicles are available and which require charging, while charging sessions can be coordinated with daily fleet schedules. Partner solutions can additionally provide data about charger availability within the depot. The new charging portfolio adds an infrastructure component to AUMOVIO's existing commercial vehicle technologies, which already include vehicle-to-charger communication control units, energy and charging management systems, battery and onboard electrical functions. VDO Fleet Ecosystem connects vehicle and charging data. The VDO Fleet Ecosystem provides the digital layer connecting the new charging equipment with information generated by vehicles and other fleet applications. AUMOVIO says the approach is intended for fleet environments where vehicle availability, charging requirements and operational schedules have to be managed together. The company is addressing both charging infrastructure and the exchange of information between the vehicle, charger and fleet management platform. AUMOVIO also supplies OEM technologies covering battery and energy management and charging communication, together with software and engineering services for vehicle integration and validation. Its IAA Transportation portfolio will additionally include battery management systems, cell contacting systems and DC/DC converters. With the addition of VDO-branded charging infrastructure, the company's commercial vehicle portfolio now covers onboard components, vehicle-to-charger communication, physical charging equipment and fleet management software. The solutions will be presented as part of AUMOVIO's commercial vehicle technology portfolio at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, scheduled for September 14 to 20. In brief. * Is AUMOVIO entering the electric bus charging market? Yes. Electric bus depots are among the applications identified for its new VDO-branded AC and DC charging portfolio. * What information can be managed through the VDO Fleet Ecosystem? The platform can combine charging status, energy consumption, vehicle availability and active charging-session data. * Does AUMOVIO also provide onboard charging technology? Yes. Its portfolio includes vehicle-to-charger communication, energy and charging management and battery-related technologies. * Where will the new VDO charging solutions be presented? At IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, taking place from September 14 to 20. "Electrification in commercial vehicles is primarily a matter of cost-effectiveness, scalability, and feasibility in real-world operations," said Georg Fässler, head of the Commercial and Special Vehicles segment at AUMOVIO. "In fleet operations, charging must work simply and reliably," said Georg Kliewer, head of special vehicles in AUMOVIO's Commercial and Special Vehicles segment. "Together with our partners, we link infrastructure, vehicle data, and services so that operators can better manage their processes and vehicles can remain available."
Exclusive: Aumovio's single-camera ADAS could make safety tech affordable for India. Aumovio, the global automotive supplier spun off from Continental, is betting that a single low-cost sensor will bring driver assistance systems to India's smallest, cheapest cars. By Mugdha Mishra 09 Sep 2026 105 Views Share - For Indian car buyers, safety features like ADAS are a key metric in their decision. However, these till now, have been limited to premium segment cars, and even then available mostly in their top variants. However, that situation may change soon. Aumovio is planning to launch a more cost effective ADAS in India. It has developed a single smart camera ADAS system, that it calls a "1V" system, which gives few key driver assistance functions without the need of radar, lidar or multi-camera systems typical of ADAS in use currently. ADAS Without Radar or Lidar Speaking to Autocar Professional, Prashanth Doreswamy, Aumovio's India head, said "We have developed a system for the Indian market where it can work for some of the extended assisted functions like lane departure warning, lane keep assist, or be emergency break assist, and some of the functions like this. It can work with one single camera, a smart camera." The single-camera unit supports lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, emergency brake assist and adaptive cruise control. Aumovio says this qualifies it as an L2 system, with a path to L2+ through software updates rather than additional hardware. On cost, the company has not disclosed per unit price but says a single-camera architecture is inherently cheaper to build and integrate than the multi-camera, radar-fusion systems, while still delivering necessary advanced safety functions. Adapting AI Algorithms The camera is AI-enabled, built on deep-learning techniques that the company says are similar to those behind modern AI LLM systems, which allows the system to keep improving its reading of driving environments over time and adapt to local conditions including the unpredictability of Indian traffic. Aumovio says the camera is already in series production and fitted across multiple vehicle programmes globally, with deployments live in China, the ASEAN region and Europe, and rollouts are under way in Australia, New Zealand, North America andl European markets. In India, Aumovio is in discussions with multiple OEMs for a local launch, though it has not committed to a timeline. Bharat NCAP 2.0 Impact India's transport ministry has proposed Bharat NCAP 2.0, a revised crash-rating framework due to take effect from October 2027. Bharat NCAP 2.0 replaces the current two-pillar scoring system with a hundred-point, five-pillar assessment which will include crash performance, vulnerable road user protection and, accident avoidance technology. The revised protocol will score vehicles on how well they help avoid crashes and protect people outside the vehicle, alongside the crash test itself. Accident-avoidance and driver-assistance systems will carry roughly a fifth of the total score, meaning cars without ADAS provision risk being capped at lower star ratings regardless of crash-test performance. Electronic stability control and curtain airbags are set to become mandatory prerequisites for any star rating under the draft framework, with a five-star result requiring at least 70 of 100 points between 2027 and 2029, rising to 80 points from 2029. For manufacturers targeting the sub-Rs 10 lakh segment where margins are thin, a cost effective ADAS architecture can be a gamechanger helping them score higher in crash test.
AUMOVIO India enables 2,700 women through manufacturing programme. AUMOVIO India's Women for Manufacturing programme has supported 2,700 women with skilling, certification, workplace exposure and placement support. AUMOVIO India, the Indian unit of German technology and electronics company AUMOVIO, said its five-year 'Women for Manufacturing' initiative has enabled 2,700 women to gain industry-relevant skills and access employment opportunities in the manufacturing sector. The programme has reported an 80 percent placement rate. Implemented annually since FY2021, the initiative combines technical skilling, certification, on-the-job exposure and placement linkages. It has been implemented across manufacturing hubs in Karnataka, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Gujarat. The programme has supported women in roles including CNC machine operations, assembly line operations and other manufacturing-linked functions. According to AUMOVIO India, the initiative is intended to provide a pathway from training and certification to workplace exposure and formal employment. AUMOVIO women for Manufacturing programme expands across five phases. The initiative has been rolled out in five phases. The first phase trained 200 women, followed by 690 in phase two, 1,200 in phase three and 610 in phase four. Phase five is currently underway and has already reached nearly 1,000 women. AUMOVIO said the programme has also resulted in first-time employment for many participants, income generation and increased household contribution. It added that the initiative is intended to contribute to a broader skilled workforce for India's manufacturing sector. Industry partners support manufacturing placements. The programme is being implemented with support from industry partners involved in facilitating placement and employment opportunities. Third-party assessment and certification are also part of the programme, with the stated objective of providing independent evaluation and maintaining industry relevance. Prashanth Doreswamy, President and CEO, AUMOVIO India, said the initiative is focused on improving access to manufacturing roles for women, particularly in areas where female participation has traditionally been lower. He attributed the programme's outcomes to industry-aligned skilling, partnerships and continued implementation over five years. Aparna Singh, Director - Programs & Operations, Centum Foundation, said the partnership with AUMOVIO has supported more than 2,700 women in transitioning into the workforce through employment-linked and industry-relevant skilling. AUMOVIO and Centum Foundation said the initiative will continue to focus on providing access to industrial roles, supporting women's career progression and developing employment pathways through collaboration between industry, implementation partners, assessment agencies and employers.
AUMOVIO has agreed to sell its Czech washer and cleaning business to Munich-based CERTINA Group as part of ongoing portfolio streamlining.

The business manufactures cleaning systems including window washers and camera, sensor and headlamp cleaning systems. Closing is expected by end-2026, subject to customary conditions. CERTINA will integrate the unit into its automotive platform, which generates around €600m annually. The disposal follows AUMOVIO's sale of its Belgian Mechelen site and plans to cut up to 4,000 jobs globally by end-2026. AUMOVIO reported first-half 2026 sales of €8.65bn, down 9.4% year-on-year, with a net loss of €597m.
AUMOVIO India to set up vehicle testing facility at NATRAX. AUMOVIO's new facility at NATRAX will expand its local testing capacity for brake systems and ADAS technologies, supporting shorter vehicle development cycles in India. AUMOVIO India has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the National Automotive Test Tracks (NATRAX) to establish a vehicle testing facility at NATRAX's premises in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. The facility, which is expected to become operational by the fourth quarter of 2027, will include a workshop, technical and storage areas, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The workshop will be able to accommodate up to 15 vehicles and will be used for installing and preparing brake systems and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) before testing. The facility is being established as AUMOVIO India expands its brake system projects in the country and seeks to reduce vehicle development and testing timelines. The company currently carries out vehicle testing at customer test tracks in India and at its own facilities in other countries. The new workshop will support testing and tuning of brake and vehicle safety systems, including anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), automatic emergency braking (AEB) and adaptive cruise control (ACC). It will also allow AUMOVIO teams to prepare both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicles for testing at NATRAX. The facility's proximity to the NATRAX test tracks is expected to enable quicker changes to vehicles and testing setups during development programmes. Prashanth Doreswamy, CEO and President, AUMOVIO India, said the increase in brake system projects and shorter development timelines had created a need to expand the company's vehicle testing capabilities in India. The company said the facility would form part of its efforts to expand local engineering and testing capabilities and support projects for Indian vehicle manufacturers from within the country.
