Helping its customers achieve lowest overall driving cost underlines Continental Tyres’ philosophy, and its presence at the CV Show 2014, 29 April-01 May, will showcase a number of products and services designed to support this goal.
Following the roll out of Continental Tyres’ Generation 3 range for buses and coaches in 2013, this year it is the turn of tyres for goods vehicles. At the CV Show 2014, Continental Tyres will showcase the first two products from its goods vehicles range – the ContiEcoPlus and the Conti Hybrid. This new product launch is paired with a new naming system for the company’s truck and bus tyres, with names which clearly describe the application the product is intended for.
The ContiEcoPlus offers a range of long-distance tyres, which provide best-in-class fuel saving performance, along with great mileage, and excellent retreadability. The ContiEcoPlus HT3 trailer tyre, is available now and offers a 26 per cent improvement in rolling resistance over its predecessor, and as a result has achieved the A label for fuel efficiency. A number of sizes for steer and drive axles, ContiEcoPlus HS3 and HD3, will follow, and are expected to be available from April. The phased launch of the ContiHybrid, Continental’s new regional range, will start from the second half of 2014. These tyres are designed to bridge the gap between long-distance journeys, and the stop-start style of town driving, and in the development of this range engineers have focussed on maximising mileage performance as a priority, whilst ensuring good fuel efficiency and retreadability. In 2014 Continental will launch the Conti Hybrid in 22.5 and 19.5 steer (Hybrid HS3), in 19.5 drive and trailer (Hybrid HD3 and HT3), and in 17.5 steer and drive (Hybrid LS3 and Hybrid LD3).
Over 90 per cent of all tyre failures are preceded by slow leaks that cause gradual loss of tyre pressure, which can lead to punctures and increased running costs, such as higher levels of rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Installed on a number of fleets throughout 2013, Continental will present case studies at the show demonstrating how its ContiPressureCheck tyre pressure management system (TPMS) has had tangible effects on reducing tyre breakdowns and the associated cost and inconvenience, as well as making drivers more conscientious.
But even with the best products and preventative measures, tyre breakdowns do happen, and when they do they can be costly and time consuming. In appreciation of the impact this can have on a company’s productivity, the ContiBreakdownService offers 24/7 availability, with a ‘drive-on time’ guarantee of less than two and a half hours in the UK and Ireland. This promise is supported by more than 300 service points and more than 700 mobile service vans across the UK and Ireland, with the option of European breakdown cover across 37 countries. As well as a competitive, nationwide, fixed-price service, with no payment needed from drivers up front, Continental offers tyre dealers and fleets of all sizes an industry-leading breakdown service.
Getting into the spirit for this summer’s World Cup in Brazil, visitors to the Continental Tyres stand at the show will also have the opportunity to win a money-can’t-buy experience at St. George’s Park, the home of English football. The winner plus three friends will join Continental at an exclusive event at St. George’s Park on the 14th June 2014, during the World Cup in Brazil. The day will include a tour of St. George’s Park, a coaching session including the ContiWarmUp programme with FA coaches, live screening of the World Cup games in the evening and overnight accommodation at the St. George’s Park Hilton hotel. In addition, Continental will be running a football trivia quiz which offers the chance to win 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ branded giveaways, and will have the official mascot of the World Cup, Fuleco, on the stand for photo opportunities
Continental Tyres’ Sales and Marketing Director, Commercial, Arthur Gregg said: “With almost three quarters of European tyre volume sales coming from the goods sector alone, this year is naturally going to be a very busy, but very exciting time for the company.
“Purchase price is an important factor in the buying decision of all of our customers, but what is more critical is having tyres that help fleets lower their overall driving costs, as these savings can quite often be significantly higher. The range of services and products we will have on display at the show represent how we can help fleets achieve this, from offering the best quality tyres optimised for specific customer needs, to systems and solutions which efficiently manage and extend the life of those tyres, to the breakdown cover to get vehicles back on the move, should the worst happen.”
The Continental Tyres team will be available to talk about their products and services at the CV Show 2014, NEC Birmingham, on stand D70, hall 5.
