Conti signs North American deal with TravelCenters

Continental Tire the Americas has entered into a multi-year agreement covering the sale of Continental brand commercial tyres at TravelCenters of America (TA) and Petro Stopping Center sites throughout the US and Canada. This deal gives Continental access to 220 replacement tyre point of sale locations and truck maintenance centres. In addition, through TravelCenters of America's RoadSquad programme, emergency replacement tyres are available 24/7/365 from over 400 roadside assistance vehicles.

“In order to support our national fleet and owner-operator customers with greater distribution of Continental truck tyres on the highway, we are happy to announce our strategic partnership with the TravelCenters of America and Petro Stopping Centers network,” commented Paul Williams, vice president of truck tyres for Continental, the Americas.

Tom Fanning, director of US replacement truck tyre sales at Continental, said the TA agreement will allow more fleet and owner-operator customers to quickly access replacement Continental brand truck tyres where and when needed, ensuring they can get back on the road quickly. “Our fleet customers, both large and small, count on the reliability of replacement Continental truck tyres on a daily basis,” he commented. “Today, with our cooperation with TA, we are providing them with even greater availability of both products and services to help them control their driving costs across North America. We’re excited that TA is helping us expand our reach to these key customers, no matter where their drivers need a tyre.”
