Continental Tyres Ireland is marking a decade of partnership with Blood Bikes Leinster, the volunteer‑run charity that provides a not-for-profit, rapid‑response medical transport service across the region.
Continental has launched the new Conti Urban HA 5 NXT city bus tyre, made with up to 60 per cent renewable, recycled and ISCC PLUS mass-balance-certified materials.
Continental is prioritising the use of renewable and recycled materials in its tyre production. While the share of these materials averaged 26 per cent in 2024, the tyre manufacturer expects an increase of two to three percentage points by the end of this year.
With the acquisition of an exclusive patent family and the commissioning of a newly developed pilot facility for the production of purified pyrolysis oil, Continental is harnessing the industrial potential of pyrolysis technology for the first time and laying the foundation for recycling complex rubber compounds on an industrial scale.
Continental has rolled out an original equipment tyre line for use on driverless vehicles. The ‘aContact’ tyre family combines specially developed tyre technologies that meet the varying requirements and areas of application of autonomous vehicle fleets.
Goodyear Tire has announced the appointment of Jan-Piet van Kesteren as managing director EMEA and chief sales officer EMEA consumer, effective 1st September. He will report to Mark Stewart, chief executive officer and president.
Continental has appointed Alena Bauer to head up its PR and internal communications team for the tyre replacement business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), effective since 1st June 2025.
A newly published study of 850 fleet managers conducted by Dataforce on behalf of Continental Tyres last year, shows the scale of the economic challenges facing the transport and logistics industry.
Now more than a decade into its partnership with Continental Tyres, multinational building materials company, Cemex, continues to be impressed by the brand’s “holistic approach to tyres”.
