<\/p>\nContinental has developed a highly efficient tyre for French automotive manufacturer Renault Group that significantly increases the range of its electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
As part of a strategic partnership, a tyre was created for Renault Group\u2019s innovation teams with up to 35 per cent lower rolling resistance than required for the EU tyre label\u2019s top A rating.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For a vehicle with a battery range of 500 kilometres, this translates to approximately 30 additional kilometres of range per charge.<\/p>\n
The starting point was the EcoContact 7, which Continental specifically adapted to Renault Group\u2019s requirements. The company combined a specially modified tread compound with a customised sidewall design and an optimised tyre construction.<\/p>\n
As a technical partner of Renault Group\u2019s innovation teams, Continental says it is showing how precisely engineered tyres could help optimise the range and driving performance of future electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
The tyre was unveiled during Renault Group\u2019s Sustainability Tour on 8th June in Guyancourt, near Paris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
