Continental Tire Recognized by EPA SmartWay Program
Several of Continental Tire’s products have been recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency for meeting the agency’s SmartWay tractor-trailer equipment specifications.
Eligibility for the specification is based on a comprehensive set of tire performance requirements including environmental design and fuel consumption performance, Continental said Monday.
The certifications are for the company’s HSL long-haul steer tire, its HDL Eco Plus premium long-haul drive tire, and its HTL all-position trailer tire.
The SmartWay partnership is collaboration between EPA and the freight industry to increase energy efficiency while significantly reducing greenhouse gases and air pollution.
