Continental Supplies Euro 2008 Team Buses

Continental AG, an official sponsor of UEFA Euro 2008 and exclusive tyre partner, has equipped all 16 team buses with HSR 1 premium bus tyres on all axles. Continental did something similar during the 2006 FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany, when the team buses also ran on Continental tyres.

In addition, almost the entire Continental summer tyre line is used on more than 60 official UEFA vehicles. These include: ContiEcoContact 3, ContiPremiumContact 2, ContiSportContact 2 and ContiSportContact 3, as well as the ContiCrossContact UHP and the Conti4x4Contact for SUVs as well as the VancoContact 2 for vans. Additionally, all Continental shuttle buses are being equipped with the special edition bus tyre HSL 1, which was already issued during the FIFA World Cup 2006, with stylized soccer balls and a Continental colour logo on the side panel.

“We would also like to use the UEFA EURO 2008 to demonstrate the features of our products during operation,” said Lührs. Continental wishes all players, teams, volunteers and fans a safe and comfortable departure and arrival.
