Continental OE on MAN Truck & Bus

Continental is one of the major tyresOEMs for MAN Truck & Bus, with MAN now using Continental’s third generation truck and bus tyre as original equipment.


From May 2014, new vehicles from the Munich-based truck and bus manufacturer will be equipped with the new Conti tyre generation ex works. The Conti EcoPlus HS3 for steering axles and the Conti EcoPlus HD3 for driving axles in sizes 315/70R22.5 and 315/70R22.5 XL were the first to obtain approval for all MAN models.

With the Conti EcoPlus tyre family, Continental has consistently focused on long-haul use and regional distribution, mainly on expressways and freeways. Thanks to the specially adjusted rubber compounds, new tread design, and reduced rolling resistance, they give customers the benefit of fuel savings of up to 1.9 liters over 100 kilometers – without compromising on mileage performance.

The steering axle tyres also demonstrate improved wet grip behavior and feature a Visual Alignment Indicator (VAI). In intensive pre-tests, the Conti EcoPlus tires convinced the specialist departments at MAN.
