Continental launches Conti Urban HA 5 NXT

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.

By reducing rolling resistance by 25 per cent, Continental says its new tyre enables electric buses to operate more efficiently and extend their range by up to 15 per cent.

At the same time, a newly developed tread compound delivers up to 15 per cent higher mileage compared to the Conti Urban HA 3, while still maintaining the proven EU label class B rating for wet grip.

The Conti Urban HA 5 NXT is now available in size 275/70 R 22.5. It also comes with sensors as standard for original equipment, which are available on request for the replacement market.

The new tyre complements the portfolio around the Conti Urban HA 5, which was introduced in 2024, and offers fleet operators a targeted selection for urban public transport.
