SmartWay verifies Continental’s entire regional steer tire family

The entire regional steer tire family of products from Continental Tire the Americas now has been added to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency SmartWay Transport Partnership’s list of verified fuel-saving technologies. Continental’s HSR2 (Heavy Steer Regional), HSR1 and HSR truck tires recently were verified by SmartWay as low rolling-resistance truck tires.

Continental says it offers a wide selection of steer, drive and trailer truck tires that have been verified by EPA for low rolling resistance when used for Class 8 linehaul trucks. Tires verified by EPA for lower rolling resistance can provide a reduction in NOx emissions and an estimated fuel savings of 3 percent or greater when used on all five axles on longhaul class 8 trucks.
