“With this investment in Trutnov in the North East of the Czech Republic, Continental will be in an excellent position to meet the increasing demand for advanced NOx sensors,” said Continental head of Sensors & Actuators Business Unit, Powertrain Division, Klaus Hau.

The supplier added the electronic components detect nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas of a vehicle and provide data for the effective conversion of NOx into harmless substances.

Around 3,000 m2 of the new hall will be dedicated to nine new production lines, another 2,220 m2 will provide storage space. Two SMT lines for the production of printed circuit boards complement the sensor manufacturing.
