to reveal a naming strategy for the new range of truck and bus tyres.
The Generation 3 tyres will represent Conti Coach, Conti CityPlus and Conti Urban ranges covering long-distance, intercity and regional, and inner city route profiles respectively.
The models, covering all axles and fitments, will be launched in June.
Continental will be launching the Conti EcoPlus HT3 trailer tyre as the successor to the HTL2+ tyre. Available in three sizes, including 355/65 R22.5, the HT3 trailer tyres will be followed by HA3 axle tyres and H53 steer tyres. Two new van tyres will also be launched during 2013, with the newgeneration Conti VanContact 100 tyre replacing the Vanco 2 for heavy-duty use, and the Conti VanContact 200 for use on car-derived vans.
Continental's tyre pressure monitoring system, Conti PressureCheck, which uses a sensor within the tyre to monitor the temperature of the tyre rather than the wheel hub, will also be on display.
• The CV Show takes place at the NEC on 9-11 April.
