The ContiTech Power Transmission Group has expanded its range for commercial vehicles with the addition of a new V-ribbed belt. The CONTI® HEAVY DUTY POWER, which is designed for front end accessory drives, makes commercial vehicles more reliable and environmentally friendly and offers customers direct added value.
The CONTI® HEAVY DUTY POWER enables a service life of more than 500,000 km in heavy-duty applications. Due to a new material combination, the belt is particularly flexible. This ensures that it functions perfectly even under extreme conditions, for example when dust or stones work their way into the drive. "In a market where a long service life plays an important role, the reliability of the belt is a key factor," stresses Philip Nelles, Head of the Automotive Original Equipment segment at the ContiTech Power Transmission Group. "The long service life minimizes maintenance costs and, in turn, the length of unproductive time a vehicle spends in the garage." Compared with standard belts, the new belt can also reduce power loss in the belt drive system by up to ten percent. This in turn leads to a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The CONTI® HEAVY DUTY POWER therefore helps the commercial vehicle industry to comply with increasingly stricter requirements regarding lower emissions.
