The Commercial Vehicle Tires division has the goal of ensuring economic mobility in goods transport, passenger transit and construction-site traffic by offering bus, truck, and industrial tires for a wide spectrum of applications and service conditions. In certain regions, off-the-road tires are also available. The division’s products are successful both in the original equipment and replacement markets. The Continental premium brand is marketed worldwide. In Europe, the Barum, Semperit, Uniroyal, and Matador brands are available as well. This selection is rounded off by the General Tire brand and our new Ameri*Steel brand in the Americas, as well as the Euzkadi brand in Mexico. In Asia, tires of the Sime Tyres brand are also available. The Industrial Tires business unit develops and produces tires of the Continental, Barum, and Simex brands. We produce commercial vehicle tires at 12 locations in seven countries.  | 2008 | 2007 | | Sales (millions of euros) | 1,404.2 | 1,452.4 | | EBIT1 (millions of euros) | 29.5 | 124.1 | | Adjusted EBIT2 (millions of euros) | 36.3 | 113.1 | | Employees | 8,247 | 8,384 | 1 Earnings before interest and taxes
