Recycled E-Mobility Bus Tires

Continental is unveiling the 'Conti Urban HA 5 NXT' at this year’s Busworld Europe trade show in Brussels.

Up to 60% of the materials in the new tire are renewable, recycled, or certified under the ISCC PLUS mass-balance system, making it one of the most eco-friendly tires on the market. The Conti Urban HA 5 NXT also boosts efficiency by cutting rolling resistance by 25%, which helps electric buses travel farther on a single charge, extending their range by up to 15%.

Thanks to a newly developed tread compound, the tire delivers up to 15% more mileage than its predecessor, the Conti Urban HA 3, while maintaining the strong EU label class B rating for wet grip.

"This major industry gathering is an excellent platform to present the Conti Urban HA 5 NXT to our original equipment customers, fleet operators, transport companies, and also the trade public,” says Leo Kolodziej, Head of Original Equipment Bus and Truck Tires EMEA at Continental.
