| 摘要： | Segmentation in the coach tyre market has been driven by the increasing sophistication of the vehicles themselves, says Steve Howat, Continental Tyres' general manager of technical services UK and Ireland. "As recently as five or six years ago, most operators were content to use a truck steer-axle tyre on all wheel positions on their coaches. But more sophisticated, powerful, and refined modern coaches have led operators to demand something more specific," he explains. "Operators' first priority is the safety and comfort of their passengers. But in addition to that, they want to maximise the life of the tyre, and also benefit from technology that will reduce the tyre's rolling-resistance, and hence fuel consumption." Continental has responded with three different, coach-specific tyres: CoachRegio HD3, CoachRegio HA3 (pictured, right) and, finally, Coach HA3. The first two are specific drive and steer tyres for shorter and more urban journeys, while the third is for long-distance work on good roads, such as runs to holiday resorts on mainland Europe. |
