The latest offering from the German manufacturer aims to use technology to help operators become more efficient and minimise costs.
Continental Tyres has announced the Conti Hybrid HT3 Gen 3 intelligent tyre (CHT3 Intelligent Tyre) is available in Australia.
Continental says its CHT3 intelligent tyre is latest technology intelligent trailer tyre advancement, designed to increase fuel efficiency and reduce operational costs for fleet operators in long-haul transportation. The CHT3 intelligent tyre is the first trailer tyre of its kind, featuring factory-fitted tyre-pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) sensors.
Transport operators and fleet organisations continue to face high operational costs, due to fuel consumption and vehicle downtime. Efficiencies in digital tyre monitoring is a vital component in the pursuit of maximising productivity and getting vehicles back on the road.
Continental says its tyres aim to alleviate these challenges and offer a complete digital solution to operators with the introduction of the CHT3 Intelligent Tyre to the Australian market.
