JV Strategic Access CNXMotion's joint venture structure between Continental and Nexteer Automotive provides direct access to two major automotive ecosystems and their procurement channels, enabling targeted engagement with Continental and Nexteer business units as well as their supplier networks for motion control solutions.

Innovation Collaboration The company has been recognized as a 2021 PACEpilot Innovation to Watch for Brake-to-Steer and has prior university collaboration with Kettering University for testing motion control tech, signaling openness to pilots and collaborative R&D. This creates opportunities to propose co-development pilots, field tests, and government or research grants partnerships with OEMs and Tier-1s.

Regional OEM Access With revenue in the $10–25 million range, a lean team, and a Michigan location near Detroit-area automakers, CNXMotion presents a pathway to engage regional OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers with scalable motion control solutions and engineering services, plus opportunities to expand reach through Continental and Nexteer networks.

AUTOSAR Readiness The tech stack includes AUTOSAR readiness, which aligns with automotive software integration standards, enabling proposals for integration services, software updates, and interface work to fit existing vehicle architectures.

Pilot Programs Despite its small size, CNXMotion has credibility through notable partnerships and recognition, suggesting opportunities to propose pilot programs, joint development, and wider testing arrangements with additional automotive players, universities, and regional suppliers to accelerate adoption.
