The practical relevance of EU truck tire label - affecting your business success - derives mainly from rolling resistance responsible for fuel consumption.
Continental truck tires focuses on the excellent fuel savings properties of its Motorway line to safeguard our promise of "Lowest Overall Driving Costs". This builds on the basis of our advanced fuel savings technologies which are well known and established under the name of ECO-PLUS for more than 30 years.

Our L-Line tires, all labeled with "ECO-PLUS" on the sidewall (HSL ECO-PLUS, HDL ECO-PLUS, HTL ECO-PLUS), are great performers on the Motorway thanks to the optimized interplay between casing and specialized tread incorporating the following technologies:

In the Casing:


Air-Keep inner liner

Denser molecular structure at the nano level means less gas diffusion and up to 50 % longer maintenance of inflation pressure. With the correctly maintained inflation pressure the tire stays in shape longer while keeping the rolling resistance at its optimal level.


Stiffer triangle belt

The triangular structure of the belt layer means more sturdiness in the longitudinal direction and increased flexibility in the belt edge area. Increased sturdiness in the driving direction significantly reduces rolling resistance.

In the Tread:


Cap-Base tread compound concept

The tread is composed of two rubber components with different heat conductivities. The wear-resistant cap compound guarantees high mileage whereas the rolling resistance optimized base compound provides for outstanding fuel savings.


High stiffness tread design concept

Steer,  Trailer – designed for minimal deformation in movement 

Steer	Trailer

Drive – designed for minimal deformation in movement at high traction level

The treads are designed to minimize the loss of energy in service. Energy saving rolling of the tires means less fuel to be invested to keep the truck going.
