Continental Timisoara, one of 15 partners involved in the 5G-LOGINNOV project, will provide professional technological solutions for two of the three ports included in the project, per a press statement.
“Continental, as a partner in this significant 5G-LOGINNOV project with European funding Horizon 2020, will present the added value of 5G technology in logistics operations at the ports of Hamburg and Koper by developing and implementing devices which collect and transmit data from vehicles that operate in these ports – the also-called testing laboratories of the new generation of 5G technologies. The IoT devices, developed in the Continental Engineering Services department at Continental’s Automotive location in Timisoara, will allow the vehicles, which were not previously connected, to be part of a larger and connected infrastructure,” stated Continental Romania head Christian von Albrichsfeld.
The project will provide a number of benefits to the community of European shippers, logistics service providers, mobility infrastructure providers, cities and public authorities. 5G-LOGINNOV will optimize the operations and maintenance of ports in Hamburg, Koper and Athens, and logistics centers thanks to the latest 5G services, according to Continental Romania.
Germany’s Continental Group, the largest car parts manufacturer in Romania, holds seven production and four engineering centers in Timisoara, Sibiu, Carei, Nadab, Brasov and Iasi.
