ContiTech Air Spring Systems was on hand at the 7th Bus World Asia held in Shanghai during March 11-14 as development and production partner for air suspension systems in the Asian commercial vehicle and bus market. At the ContiTech booth, air springs and air suspension systems for axles were showcased and details provided about the systems for cabs and driver seats. Olaf Philipp, General Manager of the ContiTech plant in Ninghai, said that at Bus World the company tried to enhance the reputation of its brand in the Chinese market, intensified customer contacts and demonstrated its commitment to state-of-the-art technology.
For ContiTech Air Spring Systems, China is a market loaded with potential. Thanks to the upcoming major events – the Olympic Games this summer in Beijing and the Shanghai Expo in 2010 – and the resulting transportation requirements involving buses, ContiTech is expecting sales to grow in China.
Since 2005, ContiTech is producing air springs for the commercial vehicle industry in Ninghai, some 300 km from Shanghai. There are plans to expand production of air suspension systems at the Ninghai air facility.
