Tires May Account For Only a Small Part of Total Costs, but They Can Impact On Almost Half of Those Costs.
*Calculations based on market average for each of the following countries: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, thereby aiming to provide a European average. Each country is weighted by its vehicle parc (Global Data medium/heavy commercial vehicle parc 2024). Individual costs may vary. Variances may be due to rounding. Status: April 2024.

Our Generation 5 tires are specifically designed to optimize the Lowest Overall Driving Costs (LODC) of your truck fleet. Tires may account for only 2% of overall expenditure, but they can influence almost one half of a fleet’s operating costs. With exceptional durability and safety features, our Generation 5 tire portfolio offers increased mileage and improved rolling resistance for long-lasting, fuel-efficient performance in a variety of applications. This way, our tires equip your fleet for future challenges, providing a competitive advantage in the industry.
Driving into Tomorrow with Advanced Truck Tire Development.
Yesterday, the automobile revolutionized the world. Today, we are witnessing a new revolution in the transportation industry in the shape of e-mobility.
To meet the specific requirements of electric trucks, tires must be optimized for extended range and increased load.
At Continental we are focusing on developing tires for electric trucks that provide maximum range while allowing an unchanged payload through increased load capacity.

As transportation shifts towards electrification, we at Continental place a strong emphasis on refining truck tires to specifically cater to the growing demand for e-trucks. Our primary focus is to further optimize rolling resistance without compromising mileage, providing fleet operators with the tools they need to effectively meet the challenges of our time.
