Continental Demonstrates Its Electric Vehicle Expertise

Another innovation in the electric demonstration car is its active accelerator pedal, the Accelerator Force Feedback Pedal (AFFP) by Continental. It is the world’s first mass-produced active accelerator pedal. Its built-in actuator and completely programmable haptic feedback signals offer entirely new ways of helping drivers to travel as economically as possible. Depending on the driving program chosen, it will be possible to select a variable pressure point along the pedal in order to signal the most economical pedal position to the driver, for example. At the same time, it will be possible to increase pedal resistance in relation to the charge remaining in the battery in order to signal diminishing range and the need to drive more economically. Since such feedback can also help decrease fuel consumption on cars with internal combustion engines, and since the AFFP can ser...
