Continental AG, Hanover, is contributing 500.000 dollars for the tsunami victims in Asia. The international automotive supplier is working together with aid organizations to determine whether a portion of this amount should be donated in the form of material resources, the corporation announced on Monday. One possibility for instance would be to provide portable 300.000 liter fuel tanks made by ContiTech AG for use in the crisis region. Tires for off-road vehicles or trucks from the Continental production in Malaysia could also be contributed. In addition, the company is asking its employees throughout the world to also contribute to the public fundraising campaigns for the victims.
