At its international launch event in Spain, Continental Tyres introduced a new heavy truck tyre for regional distribution, two purpose-designed van tyres aimed at the home delivery sector, a new tyre sensor, new digital tyre management and business solutions packages, all aimed at achieving, what Conti terms, lowest overall driving costs (LODC). The new Conti Hybrid Generation 5 premium tyre line for regional transport is aimed at high-mileage, high-impact operations. Available as the HS5 (steer) and HD5 (drive) from autumn 2022, Conti says a Gen 5 trailer tyre will be available in 2023. Conti achieves the required robustness in the Gen 5 range thanks to a new high silica compound, full width 3D matrix sipes and a zero-degree belt casing that provides more even wear and reinforcement to the tyre edges, prolonging service life and retreadability. Void-generating grooves and stone bumpers within the tread protect the tyre from damage from small stones. The HS5 315/70 steer tyre has an EU Tyre Label (C) for fuel efficiency (rolling resistance) and a (B) for wet grip. It is rated at 70dBA for noise. The 315/70 HD5 has a (C) for fuel efficiency, (C) for wet grip and is rated at 76dBA. Both tyres have the 3PMSF mark approving them for winter use. From launch the tyre is available in sizes 315/70 R 22.5 and 385/55 R 22.5 for steer axles, and 315/70 R 22.5 for drive. 315/80 and 385/65 versions for steer and drive will follow, with 295/80 and 275/70 sizes coming in 2023. |
