Continental launches TireTech truck and bus app

Continental has launched new software designed to support “fleet operators, dealers and service technicians in maximising the safety and efficiency of their tyres”.  The new TireTech mobile app for truck and bus tyres, complements the existing version for agricultural tyres.

Available to download for free on both iOS and Android, the Continental TireTech app is a technical advice tool developed for dealers, fleet managers and technicians. According to the company, the platform provides “quick and easy access to up-to-date tyre and service information for Continental’s full range of tyres for agricultural and commercial vehicles”. The app’s content is available in multiple languages, is ready to use within seconds of installation, and can be easily configured to meet users’ individual needs.

Integrated Pressure-Load Calculator

Amongst the features offered by the Continental TireTech app is an integrated Pressure-Load Calculator, which helps users to determine the correct pressures for each tyre based on the vehicle axle load and tyre size. The database of technical tyre data and library of supporting images provides another powerful function. Plus, the technical data can also be accessed without an internet connection. A contact form completes the service app’s offering, enabling customers to directly reach Continental’s technical service team.

“With the Continental TireTech app, we are continuing to digitalise tyre maintenance services,” Catherine Loss, Head of Technical Customer Services EMEA at Continental commented, explaining: “Our technical service team is excited to expand the functionalities of this app, complementing our existing customer offering.

“With the Pressure-Load Calculator, fleet managers, technicians and tyre retailers are able to determine the optimal inflation pressure for their tyres, depending on the application….This makes the Continental TireTech app another building block of Continental’s holistic Lowest Overall Driving Costs (LODC) approach.”
