Continental's new Conti EfficientPro 5 is engineered to address the evolving demands of long-distance haulage, focusing on fuel savings and environmental sustainability.

Hinnerk Kaiser, Head of Product Development EMEA at Continental, stated:

"With the new Conti EfficientPro 5, we are helping our customers to meet stringent carbon reduction targets, lower their operating costs, and get ready for a future with electric drive systems."

The tyre employs the innovative vec2Sil silica compound, which enhances rolling resistance while ensuring high mileage. This is crucial for fleet operators looking to improve efficiency and reduce operational expenses.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Reduced Rolling Resistance: The vec2Sil compound and optimised tread design ensure significant reductions in rolling resistance, directly benefiting fuel economy and energy efficiency.
  • Enhanced Load Capacity: A higher load index supports heavier payloads, essential for electric trucks.
  • Improved Wet Grip and Stability: Innovative tread patterns and void-generating grooves deliver reliable handling and braking performance, even in adverse weather conditions.
  • Eco-Friendly Compliance: Meets EU Regulations 2019/2400 and 2019/1241 for sustainable vehicle operations.
  • Retreadability: A robust casing design ensures the tyre can be retreaded, further reducing lifecycle costs.

Kaiser added:

"The combination of reduced rolling resistance and long service life makes this tyre unique."

Optimised for Electric Mobility

The Conti EfficientPro 5 stands out as a solution tailored for electric commercial vehicles. With reinforced belt layers and an optimised load index, it accommodates the additional weight of EV components without sacrificing durability or performance.

"It is the first tyre in this segment that gives special consideration to the requirements of electric vehicles," said Kaiser.
