As a precursor of a new generation of truck tyres, the trailer tires from Continental HTR2 to the starting line.The all-rounder for the local and long-distance transport convinced with qualities, where it matters: His own weight optimized, the demand for good payload, which allows increased treads run much higher benefits.
Der reduzierte Rollwiderstand sorgt für die niedrigsten Kraftstoff-Verbrauchswerte seiner Klasse. The reduced rolling resistance ensures the lowest fuel consumption figures in its class. Diese Leistungen und die hervorragende Runderneuerungsfähigkeit des HTR2 sind in Summe ein aktiver Beitrag für mehr Wirtschaftlichkeit im Transport. These services and the excellent retread ability of the HTR2 are a total of an active contribution to greater efficiency in transport.
Even if the economy well with the logistics industry thinks they still struggling with steadily rising costs. The tyres in the fleet cause about three percent of operating costs. They added the influence of the tyres on fuel consumption - every third tank is placed directly through the rolling resistance of tyres caused. This is where the new HTR2 trailer tires. The axes that have the greatest weight to bear during transport, first with the rollwider stands optimized Continental tyres as standard. Five percent less rolling resistance compared to the previous generation, the new tires for semitrailers to offer and excellent running characteristics on top - first come HTR2 as the all-round format 385/65 R 22.5 in the trade.
New technologies for higher performance run. A new steel belt stiffened the construction of the HTR2 the rolling resistance is minimized and the durability of the carcass. The ribs construction keep the forces on some raw trailer and better ensure the safe seat of the tyre. The treads of HTR2 receives 20 percent more rubber and a 17 millimeter effectively increased depth. The magnified uprising area provides excellent running characteristics even when abrasion. With its kilometer benefits is the HTR2 to the top of its class - its large reserves make it possible.The tire customer benefits by reducing fleet costs.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
