As the automotive industry continues its transition to the electrical future, the importance of energy conservation is only increasing in importance. The key to global EV adoption undoubtedly lies in battery technology that must become more affordable, but automakers are also making efforts to allow electric vehicles to go further on a single charge even without changing battery technology.

Energy from bumps and potholes

A new brake design for longer EV ranges

Continental Aktiengesellschaft (OTC:CTTAY) is a German multinational automotive parts manufacturing company known for its tires, but it could go down in history for inventing a brake calliper. The Green Caliper is significantly lighter than previous designs and has a lower residual brake torque, helping the vehicle save up to five kilograms or 11 pounds per brake.
