Continental Tire has announced the market launch of its two new ContiConnect Lite and Pro tire management tools. The product launch came at IAA Transportation 2024 in Hanover, Germany.
ContiConnect significantly reduces overall fleet costs, according to Clarisa Doval, head of digital services, Continental.
“Changing a tire too early results in unnecessary wear and higher costs. Changing it too late reduces safety and increases fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Our solution – the combination of the sensor tread depth measurement and our predictive models – enables fleets to further increase their efficiency and their sustainability,” Doval said.
Doval said that ContiConnect is a vital component of Continental’s “Lowest Overall Driving Costs” (LODC) consulting approach.
With ContiConnect, the tire manufacturer is working to provide the transport industry with a powerful lever to withstand the growing cost pressure and further improve the sustainability of fleets.
The tire-related costs of a fleet are usually around two percent. However, truck tires have a significant impact on fuel, maintenance and repair costs, which can account for up to 50 percent of the total fleet operating costs.
Premium tires, data-based service management and tire checks at the right time can significantly reduce the operating costs of a fleet.
At IAA, Continental introduced two new ContiConnect versions. These include both a Lite, and a Pro version for customized fleet management

The aim is to provide even better support for fleet customers.
The entry-level solution is ContiConnect Lite, which is based on a mobile app. With this, the customers can gain an impression of the functionalities of the tire management system quickly. With almost no installation effort, they benefit from the many advantages of data-supported tire monitoring.
The data from the tire sensors, such as air pressure and tire temperature, is transmitted via Bluetooth to the ContiConnect app on the smartphone. The driver can then, for example, check the condition of the tires before setting off.
ContiConnect Pro, in contrast, is a complete solution for digital tire management and predictive services. It offers a comprehensive overview of the tire condition of the fleet, including warnings, and displays the data in a web portal and an app.
In addition to the precise data from the tire sensors, customers benefit from services such as automated warnings and recommendations on pressure, temperature and due dates for necessary tire services and changes. This enables predictive maintenance for the vehicles and fundamentally optimizes tire management.
ContiConnect Pro also provides information on the location and status of all vehicles and thus improves the processes within a fleet.
