Conti Gains Recognition in North America

Continental has gained further recognition in the North American market as OE fitment to the newly declared North American Car of the Year and Truck of the Year, chosen at the North American International Auto Show currently being held in Detroit.

The Chrysler 300/300c and the Ford Escape Hybrid truck were chosen for their “innovation, value, safety, ride and handling,” reports an American news source.

Continental supplies the ContiTrac Eco Plus tyre to the Ford vehicle, which it claims, was designed and engineered specifically for it.

Various Continental tyres including its self-sealant design, ContiSeal are supplied to the Chrysler. The manufacturer claims that the tyre’s “unique sizes and their low profile and large rim diameter improve the vehicle’s responsiveness and handling.”
