Continental launches ContiRoadAttack 4 ‘hyper-touring’ tyre

/in

It’s now 16 years since Continental introduced its first-generation ContiRoadAttack, and during this time we’ve made our acquaintance with a whole range of jauntily-named innovations. The launch of the original tyre back in 2005 saw the arrival of Zero Degree technology, while Continental gave us two – TractionSkin and MultiGrip – when it released a second generation five years later. Continental brought out the ContiRoadAttack 2 EVO in 2013 and in doing so introduced us to RainGrip technology. We got to know EasyHandling technology four years ago when the next generation tyre arrived. Continental is now gearing up to bring us its latest incarnation, the ContiRoadAttack 4. Get ready for GripLimitFeedback technology, too.

UK facility to feature early in Scandinavian Enviro Systems’ global rollout

/in

A business that claims a nearly endless market to conquer with projected EBITDA margins approaching 70 per cent is either deluded or on to a good thing. And as the deluded don’t receive substantial investment from firms such as Michelin, the latter must apply in the case of Scandinavian Enviro Systems (Enviro). The company aims to be the leading player in the circular economy for tyres and wants to secure a 15 to 30 per cent share of the global market for recovered carbon black. The UK is tipped to be an early beneficiary of these ambitious growth plans.

Repurposing boosting number of published tyre tests

/in

If you have the impression that we’re seeing more tyre tests these days and they’re appearing more frequently, you’re not mistaken. There are several reasons for this. One is the increasing popularity of all-season tyres. Secondly, tyre manufacturers are increasingly commissioning comparative tests of their own products alongside the competition. The third reason is that tests are often tweaked and presented to the public more than once. This was the case with the most recent winter test from German publication auto motor und sport (ams); it wasn’t long before two suspiciously similar – but not identical – doppelgangers appeared.

Retreading at former Bridgestone plant

/in ,

The future of tyre making at the site of Bridgestone’s recently-closed Béthune plant in France has been secured by a deal signed in July between major European vehicle maintenance and mobility firm Mobivia and French retreading specialist Black Star. With support from Bridgestone, the partners are gearing up to retread car, SUV and light commercial vehicle tyres in Béthune – products that Bridgestone intends to sell through selected retail outlets. The project will commence in January and gradually ramp up; Mobivia’s communications manager, Laurie Lalloyer, informs us that the aim is to retread 900,000 tyres a year by 2025. By that time the project is expected to have created nearly 200 jobs, including employment for many former Bridgestone workers.

Welsh retreader Tuf Treads invests in Marangoni autoclave and nail hole detector technology
