Continental, the premium German tire and automotive technology firm, has introduced ContiLogger, which will be available in the Middle East in the second half of 2019. ContiLogger is the latest consultancy idea, which unites tires, hardware, software, data and manpower to give us the best off-the-road experience. It provides us a cost-effective analysis of cycle downtime, distance, speed, lateral forces, cornering, and road grade, allowing enhanced route management and a flawlessly organized tire use.
The concept of ContiLogger was unveiled at the world’s principal construction machinery trade show – BAUMA 2019 (8 – 14 April).
The system gathers data like tire pressure, tire temperature and vehicle and topographic data, which is analyzed by experts to discover if a tire is overloaded or underused, thus improves tire and equipment life.
“This is a holistic concept because it involves evaluating the application as a whole. We see this as extremely important in the OTR earthmoving business, where conditions are exceptionally harsh and the high cost of replacing tires means that proper tire servicing and consulting are essential,” says Enno Straten, Head of Continental Commercial Specialty Tires (CST).
