Continental Unveils TireTech App for Trucks and Buses

Optimal tyre inflation pressure and the right tyre selection mean the best possible tyre performance and the greatest possible fleet efficiency. What sounds so simple is not always easy to implement in the pricedriven day-to-day business of fleets. Continental therefore supports fleet operators, dealers and service technicians in maximising the safety and efficiency of their tyres with the TireTech mobile app for agricultural tyres, which is now also available for truck and bus tyres.

Available to download for free on both iOS and Android, the Continental TireTech app is a technical advice tool further developed for dealers, fleet managers and technicians. The platform provides quick and easy access to up-to-date tyre and service information for Continental’s full range of tyres for agricultural and commercial vehicles. The app’s content is available in multiple languages, is ready to use within seconds of installation, and can be easily configured to meet users’ individual needs.

Easy and relevant information

Amongst the features offered by the Continental TireTech app is an integrated Pressure-Load Calculator, which helps users to determine the correct pressures for each tyre based on the vehicle axle load and tyre size. The database of technical tyre data and library of supporting images provides another powerful function. Plus, the technical data can also be accessed without an internet connection. A contact form completes the service app’s offering, enabling customers to directly reach Continental’s technical service team.

The arrival of Renault Trucks’ allelectric heavy duty range in 2023 marks a major step forward by the manufacturer in favour of the decarbonisation of road freight transport. Renault Trucks is now the only manufacturer to offer electric mobility for all uses: from 650 kg cargo bikes to 44 tonne electric tractors and construction trucks. These electric vehicles are part of the full ecosystem for decarbonising transport proposed by Renault Trucks, which takes the form of tailor-made support for hauliers in their energy transition from the very first decision to decarbonise their fleet: from assessing and analysing needs to monitoring implementation and operation. Renault Trucks is pursuing its ambition for 50% of its sales to be of all-electric vehicles by 2030.
