The Continental VancoEco tire is specifically designed for use on vans. This tire is designed to minimize fuel consumption. It is intended for vehicles: Volkswagen T5, Ford Transit, and Mercedes Sprinte.
In this model, the rolling resistance is reduced by 30%, which results in a 4% reduction in fuel consumption. However, the engineers have maintained the braking efficiency on various road surfaces. Therefore, this tire has properties "just like a passenger car". The potential reduction in fuel consumption is achieved due to two features - a new rubber compound with silica content and a unique tread pattern, which was developed to reduce deformation when the tire surface Continental VancoEco comes into contact with the road surface.
At the same time, attention was paid not only to reducing rolling resistance but also to ensuring a high level of safety, as a result of using small numerous traction edges, which improved braking efficiency. Due to this, when braking on a wet surface, a "sweeper effect" appears - the edges break the water film, which allows reducing the braking distance.
A sufficiently robust breaker construction improves handling and increases feedback. This is quite important when unexpected obstacles appear on the road. The tire, after production, undergoes thorough electronic and visual quality control, so it meets all world quality standards.
Main features of the Continental VancoEco tire
- minimal rolling resistance allows significant fuel savings while driving;
- a unique rubber compound with special additives has improved traction characteristics and wear resistance;
- excellent braking and traction characteristics are achieved due to optimally selected blocks with a unique shape;
- increased strength and reliability are achieved due to the reinforced carcass design.
