Generation 3. Driven by your needs.

2Generation 3 Nomenclature

A new generation of tyres. Designed to meet your needs.Rapidly evolving within the tyre market.

In 2008, Continental launched Generation 2 – a tyre

range that focused mainly on the Goods segment.

Since then, Continental has continued to challenge

itself, thus rapidly and successfully expanding its

focus and expertise. Our highly skilled engineers,

driven by their passion and desire to shape the

future, have achieved an incredibly strong product

line within all three segments – Goods, People and

Construction – with each segment being made up

of several different tyre applications.

Redefining the tyre market – Generation 3.

Continental’s new Generation 3 represents a milestone in the premium

segment of commercial vehicle tyres. Continuing the legacy of its

second generation tyres, Continental is redefining the tyre market

with their customer-oriented problem-solving approach. The aim of

Generation 3 is to provide a tyre range perfectly tuned to customers’

applications. In doing so, our engineers have focused on specific

benefits tailored to the particular segment – such as fuel efficiency,

mileage, safety, comfort, and durability.

Within the People segment, for instance, Continental has gone the extra

mile by developing tailored applications that provide undeniable safety

for each type of transportation. One such example is the Conti Coach,

which leads the tyre market with an “A” grade in wet braking on the EU

tyre label.

Continental’s strategic Generation 3 tyre launch spans the next four

years, each year with a different focus:

4Generation 3 Nomenclature

A brand new naming fitting a pioneering tyre generation.

Due to the expansion of the range to meet specific customer requirements, Continental’s new product line was in need of a new naming to fully reflect its extensive benefits.

1. Development of products that meet specific customer needs

reflected in the naming.

The new Generation 3 has the right tyre for all of our customers’

needs. Be it within the Goods, People or Construction segment, our

customers’ demands are very specific and the new Continental tyre

naming definitely delivers.

2. Benefit and application clarity through a clear naming.

The particular benefits and applications of a tyre line are clear to the

customer immediately. The new names reflect the particular features

of the tyres (e. g. Conti Hybrid – optimised for both motorways and re-

gional roads) and their specific application benefits (e. g. Conti CityPlus

– developed individually for the inter city application).

3. Consistent usage of the naming across the globe and within the

corporation.

The new names create a global approach – each name stands for the

same tyre in all regions across the globe. In addition, the new names

follow a similar approach to the naming used for passenger and light

truck tyres.

Generation 3 therefore creates greater consistency for the customer.
