This opens up benefits of rapidly increasing importance: During 80 percent or more of all deceleration events in an electric car, electric power can be generated through regenerative braking when a normal driving style is applied. Like the MK C1, the MK C2 is a so-called “brake-by-wire“ system in which the brake pedal is decoupled from the actual pressure generation.

Among other aspects, even the base version of the MK C2 offers the function scope for highly automated valet parking.

By moving on to a multi-logic architecture with two independent partitions and thus a redundant fallback level, system availability is increased, which is relevant particularly in view of Automated Driving. In addition, the number of components was successfully reduced, and the costs lowered. The vehicle-specific system application has also been simplified. While it offers a higher availability and higher performance, the MK C2 is more compact and lighter so that it is much easier to integrate into smaller vehicle models and complete vehicle platforms with diverse powertrain concepts and varying installation spaces. Technology company Continental has specifically further developed its pioneering generation of the electro-hydraulic brake system MK C1. Owed to its modular and scalable design, MK C2 is ideally suited for integration into complete platforms, turning the system into a “door opener” for Future Brake Systems and Motion Control solutionsįrankfurt, Germany, November 16, 2021.MK C2 is more compact, lighter, more economical, and features a multi-logic architecture for an even higher availability and performance level.Continental supports the global megatrends of Electrification and Automated Driving with the second generation of its electro-hydraulic brake system.
