Berlin — German automotive supplier Continental wants to make its automated driving business more independent and is considering a partial initial public offering (IPO), Handelsblatt reported on Tuesday, citing anonymous sources.
The Autonomous Mobility division of the company’s automotive segment is to become its own legal entity from January 1 2023, but an IPO could also be on the cards in the future, sources told the German newspaper.
Continental, which split off its power-train division Vitesco in 2021, did not confirm the report, saying that co-operation between business fields under one roof is the company’s top priority at present.
“No further steps are planned at this time,” a spokesperson said.
