Continental to unveil new tyre range at CV Show

Continental will be presenting its newly developed tyre range Conti Hybrid for the first time at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham next week.

In response to the diversity of the regional transport segment, Continental is introducing a whole tyre family, in 17.5, 19.5, and 22.5 inch formats.  The range will address the challenges faced in regional delivery with long tyre life and a high degree of fuel efficiency.

Specially developed for city and regional distribution, at 17.5 inch rim diameter, the Conti Hybrid LS3 for steer axles and the Conti Hybrid LD3 for drive axles, are suitable for light trucks up to a total weight of 12 tonnes.

The new Conti Hybrid HS3 and Conti Hybrid HD3 in 19.5 inch formats for steer and drive axles are designed for vehicles of over 12 tonnes total weight. The new Conti Hybrid tyres allow for the higher unladen weight of modern Euro 6 vehicles and are designed for varying load conditions, as is usual in regional transportation.

The Conti Hybrid HT3 19.5 provides tyres that are perfectly adapted for semitrailers and trailers. The steering axle tyre Conti Hybrid HS3 with a tyre dimension of 22.5 inches is breaking new ground for applications in the heavy segment. The Conti Hybrid tyres will be launched on the market at the start of the second half of 2014.
