‘Efficiency’, we would like to show
that, thanks to our wide product
range and our systems expertise, we
can offer our customers solutions
that improve the efficiency of com-
mercial vehicles.”
The highlight as far as Efficiency
is concerned is the preview of the
forthcoming Continental tyre gen-
eration for omnibuses and trucks.
For the first time at IAA, Continen-
tal will display tyres of the 3rd gen-
eration. With the new tyres, which
will be gradually introduced to the
market from mid-2013, the compa-
ny will incorporate state-of-the-art
tyres as regards efficiency, safety
and comfort into its world-wide
product range. With tyres of the
3rd generation, customers will have
products at their disposal that have
been developed and optimized for
the target group, which simplify the
work of those in charge of vehicle
fleets, from tire selection to service
solutions.
As an important service solu-
tion, Continental presents the fleet
management system Conti 360°
Fleet Services. The system offers
modular services which
enable individual and
expert tyre management
specific to the needs of
customers. The fleet
operator thus ensures
that the condition of
his vehicles’ tyres is
constantly
optimized,
the administrative workload
and expenses are low, and the costs
are easily calculable. Meanwhile,
the mobility service for fleets with
international operations is available
in 13 European countries.
In the “Safety” megatrend area of
the trade fair booth, the focus is on
driver assistance and braking sys-
tems. The highlight is the MK 100
ESC XT electronic braking system
which Continental will present at
IAA for the first time. Volume pro-
duction of the system is slated to get
underway in 2015. It is an extension
of the modular and scalable MK 100
product family, which allows the
use of the anti-lock braking system
