Continental, is introducing smart technology to its Conti Urban bus tyre line. Starting from August 2023, the entyre tyre family, including the Conti Urban HA3, Conti UrbanScandinavia HA3+, and Conti UrbanScandinavia HD3, will be equipped with state-of-the-art sensors. This groundbreaking move makes Continental the first company to offer a complete range of tyres with built-in sensors, further advancing the digitalisation of fleet management.
By integrating sensors into their tyres, Continental aims to help municipalities and bus companies enhance the efficiency of their vehicle operations and reduce costs during the mobility and energy transition. With a significant number of buses in the segment already electrified and the continuous growth of sustainable downtown public transportation, smart tyres play a vital role.
