Sikkerhed er vores topprioritet. Derfor tager Continental alle sikkerheds- og komfortmæssige aspekter med i overvejelserne, når vi udvikler nye dæk. Alle nye dæk fra Continental skal gennemgå en masse tests, før de sættes i produktion. Hvert eneste nye dæk skal køre hundredvis af kilometer på vores primære testcenter, Contidrom. Vi tester i alt 140.000 dæk hvert år under forskellige betingelser. Sidste år kørte vores testkørere i alt så mange kilometer, at de kunne have nået rundt om jorden 500 gange.
Vi tester vores dæk mere end nogen anden producent. Men det er alligevel ikke nok: Det er vigtigt for os, at vores dæk også klarer sig godt i uafhængige tests. Og det gør de: Continentals dæk får tit topkarakter i uafhængige test, og vi har mange gange vundet afstemningen om årets bedste dækmærke, der arrangeres af den tyske pendant til FDM, ADAC, og kendte bilmagasiner som AutoBild og AutoZeitung. Det gør os stolte, fordi det bare bekræfter, at med Continental-dæk er man sikker på alle veje i alle betingelser.
Når det drejer sig om sikkerhed, er intet sted for langt væk for vores teknikere. De rejser hele verden rundt for at sikre sig, at alle Continental-dæk – vinterdæk, sommerdæk, helårsdæk, sportsdæk og off-road-dæk – testes af vores eksperter under mange forskellige vejrforhold og på alle overflader.
Continental anvender både kendte og nye testmetoder for at kunne levere sikre, optimerede og pålidelige dæk. Continentals F&U-ekspert, Andreas Schlenke, forklarer, hvordan tests – fra virtuel simulering til objektive og subjektive tests – er en fast del af alle faser af dækudviklingen.
From the outset, the test engineers at the Contidrom have defined standards that are applied in Continental’s tire testing activities around the world.
