First Sensor AG has again been appointed by Volkswagen AG to supply pressure sensors for the control of braking systems. The agreement covers the period up to 2021 and has an anticipated sales volume of around EUR 8 million per year. The sensors will be installed in nearly all gasoline-engined models of Volkswagen Group brands around the world: VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Porsche and Bentley. First Sensor has already been supplying the sensors since 2011. Volkswagen invited tenders for the contract again in 2016, as scheduled. The repeat order thus follows directly on from the pre-existing supply agreement. Pressure sensors in braking systems are important because they recognize when a vacuum in the brake booster is insufficient and the vehicle's automatic start-stop system must therefore be deactivated.
