Continental relied upon by 10 highest-volume E-Vehicle manufacturers globally in 2023

 

In 2023 Continental supplied tyres to all ten of the world's highest-volume manufacturers of fully electric vehicles. “Our customers attach particular importance to tyres with low rolling resistance for more range and quiet rolling noise for high driving comfort. We meet these requirements with our high-performing tyres for all types of electric vehicles. The trust that manufacturers of e-vehicles worldwide have in Continental tyres is a nice confirmation of this,” said Manja Greimeier, who heads the Original Equipment business for Continental’s Tires group sector. 

 

From early on Continental started to work specifically on optimizing its tyres for greater efficiency and lower consumption. In 1993 the tyre manufacturer presented the ContiEcoContact – the first tyre line designed specifically for energy efficiency. Since then, all tyre developments have focused on low rolling resistance, low rolling noise and high mileage without compromising or limiting safety. In its tyre development, Continental also considers the higher weight of electric vehicles that results from the weight of the battery. Therefore, the company has also been producing passenger car tyres with the special HL load index since 2021 - These tyres have an increased load capacity. 

 

All vehicles benefit from Continental’s technological advances, regardless of their type of drive. The premium tyre manufacturer has optimized all current lines in the whole tyre portfolio for all types of drive. Since 2023 the EV Compatible logo on the tyre wall clarifies which tyre models are designed for use on electric vehicles and to optimize their range. Because of this, Continental tyres are always the right choice – regardless of whether it is a combustion engine or an electric vehicle.
