Following on from the initial unveiling of its fifth generation Eco truck tyre line in April, Continental has confirmed that the new Conti Eco HS5 steer and Conti Eco HD5 drive tyres will soon replace the existing long-distance-focused Conti EcoPlus tyre and the Conti EcoRegional tyre for mixed distribution fleets in the UK market.
During the official launch of its fifth-generation Conti Eco truck tyre range, the team at Continental frequently touched on the subject of sustainability, addressing this as both as a desirable target for fleets and as a factor driving massive legislative change in Europe. Cost pressures were also high on the agenda. To accommodate the demands posed by both factors, Continental states its aim of finding the right balance, meeting cost targets in the most sustainable way.
Continental has presented its fifth-generation Conti Eco tyre line for freight transportation, promising to cut costs for hauliers while significantly reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in both regional and long-distance operations. With the new generation of the Conti Eco, Continental says its development experts were able to resolve the conflicting goals of optimised rolling resistance and high mileage.
