The Conti Hybrid HT3 445/45 R 19.5 beat more than 5,000 other entries to win the iF Design Award.
“We accept this award with joy and pride. The iF Design Award recognizes the high standards we constantly apply to the development of our tyres in terms of performance, safety, and efficiency – and which of course can be seen in their design as well,” explains Constantin Batsch, Vice President Business Region Truck Tires EMEA.
The iF Design competition has been held annually by the iF International Forum Design GmbH since 1954. The award-winning products are honored during the official award ceremony on February 26, 2016 at BMW Welt in Munich with the internationally recognized iF Design emblem. As part of the award, the Conti Hybrid HT3 445/45 R 19.5 will also be on display at the iF Design exhibition in Hamburg.
The Conti Hybrid HT3 445/45 R 19.5 is characterized by a high load capacity and excellent service life with a low diameter. With an axle load of 9 tons, the profile of the trailer tyre allows the best use of the 3-meter internal load height, when used on the semitrailers of mega liners. The optimized tyre contour and balanced load distribution results in an even wear pattern of the trailer tyre and contribute to a long service life. Thanks to a 15 percent reduction in rolling resistance compared to its predecessor, the Conti Hybrid HT3 445/45 R 19.5 qualifies for the EU label “B” in the fuel efficiency category. This means the trailer tyre reduces fuel consumption in both regional and long-distance transportation.
