Steve Howat, general manager – technical services at Continental Tyres last week visited Ireland to deliver two evening tyre training sessions at Wexford Bus and Nenagh Tyres.
Continental will open this year’s technical conference at the Tire Technology Expo in Hanover on 3rd March, with a presentation on tyre technologies for autonomous driving.
Continental is developing tyres with exceptionally low rolling noise, helping to reduce overall traffic noise and improve comfort inside the vehicle. This is made possible by innovative technologies and tread designs.
Continental will fit the new Audi A6 with 20- and 21-inch summer tyres as standard. The Ingolstadt-based car manufacturer has approved two options for its premium mid-size model: the high-performance SportContact 7 and the efficiency-focused EcoContact 6 Q.
Figures for 2025 recently issued by the NCTS, the body that administers Ireland’s national car test programme, show that just over 250,000 cars submitted for an NCT last year failed the visual defect test because of problems with their tyres.
Continental has been successfully supporting multinational building materials company, Cemex with comprehensive tyre solutions for more than a decade – relying on Continental’s tyre expertise for its entire fleet. The company benefits from the partnership with Continental in many ways.
