Nynas saves money with Conti Tyres

ERJ staff report (DS)

Ellesmere Port, UK -- Nynas in the UK is running its asphalt delivery fleet on Continental tyres. The company is currently in the process of marketing its non-labelled oils to the tyre industry, but has managed to save money by using Continental's tyres.

The company said it now spends less on tyres than it did 15 years ago, following a policy of using only Continental tyres on its 120 tractor units and trailers.

As well as achieving good wear out of its Continental tyres, Nynas is also benefiting from their low weight and the contribution they make to fuel efficiency. The result is savings all round, with up to a tonne more payload carried by each truck every week and fuel consumption of 8.64 mpg for tankers running at 44 tonnes.
