Family-run steel haulage company Randall Barber Transport is saving an average of eight pence per kilometre (PPK) per tyre with Continental, with each tyre travelling up to 10,000km further compared with the fleet’s previous brand of tyres.
At the recent Conti Live Action 2012 about 200 vehicle manufacturers, tyre dealers and fleet managers spent two days putting Continental industrial tyres through a series of tests benchmarking them against competitor products.
Continental has opened a new Liaison Office for Public Affairs in Brussels, Belgium, effective August 1, 2012 and appointed Desmond A. Collins (56) as the new office head.
At Continental, there is no let-up for the curing presses during the summer months, with factories across Europe currently busy producing winter tyres.
Norwegians Knut Wilthil (52) and Hanrik Borchegrevink (42) have set a new fuel saving record driving a Ford Mondeo on Continental ContiEcoContact 5 summer tyres.
