Conti Urban Green Highlights



Key Features

  • Nearly 50% of materials used in the Conti Urban Green concept are renewable or recycled
  • Optimized for noise reduction in urban environments
  • Maximum retreadability which increases sustainability factor
  • Designed with built-in intelligent sensors for monitoring efficient usage of resources



Conti 'Green Concept' Technology Highlights

The Conti Urban Green concept tire contains just under 50 percent renewable and recycled feedstock. The tread– the part of the tire that is in contact with the road – contains 68 percent renewable materials, including rapeseed oil, silica obtained from the ash of rice husks and responsibly sourced natural rubber originating from a partnership between Continental and the German development aid agency (GIZ). Cutting-edge digital technology, local involvement in the cultivation of rubber and close collaboration with strong partners create transparency here and ensure a high level of traceability along the entire value chain for natural rubber. In addition to recovered carbon black and recycled steel, Continental uses reclaimed rubber to build the tire. This recycled rubber originates primarily from Continental’s innovative retreading and recycling plant for truck tires in Hanover, Germany.

Conti Urban Green Concept Tire The sustainable tire concept Conti Urban is specially designed for electrified urban bus and delivery traffic. The amount of renewable and recycled materials is almost 50 percent.

Retreading a worn tire is a key component to sustainable fleet management, offering both cost savings and environmental benefits. Requiring less energy and resources than a new tire, retreads can help eliminate scrap rubber and reduce CO2 emissions. The ContiTread EcoPlus Green concept contains nearly 70 percent renewable materials in the tread. Continued use of Continental's versatile 3G casing, which contains an especially high share of all the materials used in a tire, pays off even more. After a worn tire is retreaded with the Green concept tread, the share of renewable and recycled feedstock rises to more than 90 percent. Utilizing the ContiTread EcoPlus Green retread on the 3G Casing improves rolling resistance by reducing deflection and heat build-up for a more sustainable solution for truck and bus customers.

The Conti 3G Casing is an innovative casing design that provides increased retreadability through durability innovations in the bead, belt package, and rubber compounding.

  • Improved casing design and compounding improves rolling resistance by reducing deflection and heat buildup
  • Increased stability in the all new belt package promotes even wear throughout the tires life
  • Tighter belt cord angles help reduce heat buildup and penetrations to protect the casing
  • Improved bead design for increased durability
Sustainable Conti 3G Casing Continental’s 3G Casing offers maximum performance and retreadability, helping deliver the Lowest Overall Driving Cost for your truck tires and bus tires.

For the most efficient tire management, Conti Urban tires were designed with built-in intelligent sensors. Predictive monitoring through the new generation of Continental's in-tire sensor helps save fuel and be more efficient with resources. As part of ContiConnect digital tire management, temperature and pressure data are constantly monitored and transmitted via Bluetooth or radio signal to any smart device for real-time guidance.


Our approach to sustainable mobility

Designed to increase sustainability after each retread

Retreading worn tires is well-established as an excellent method to recycle resources and increase the long-term value from each tire. The Conti Urban Green concept can also be retreaded, breathing new life into the worn but intact tire casings with brand new treads manufactured from 70 percent renewable and recycled feedstock. This means that after it's first retread, the share of sustainable material in the tire increases to more than 90 percent. 

Developed from sustainable, responsibly sourced materials

Cutting-edge digital technology, local involvement in the cultivation of rubber and close collaboration with strong partners create transparency here and ensure a high level of traceability along the entire value chain for natural rubber. In addition to recovered carbon black and recycled steel, Continental has also used reclaimed material to build the tire. This recycled rubber originates primarily from Continental’s innovative retreading and recycling plants for truck tires.
