ContiTech air spring systems make vehicles lightweight and environmentally friendly

At the 2013 International Road Transport and Urban Bus Vehicles & Parts Exhibition, ContiTech presented its air spring system
for commercial vehicles that combines high comfort and environmental protection.

The gas spring system is made of metal and composite materials, which significantly reduces vehicle weight, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
.
At the same time, vehicles equipped with air suspension can also reduce vibration and damage to the road surface, thereby reducing the frequency of road maintenance and dust pollution
.

In addition, compared to the old gas spring plastic pistons with no and some additional air chambers, the latest plastic piston of the air spring exhibited by ContiTech this time has a two-piece design and uses a fully additional air chamber, which can meet the stringent comfort requirements of commercial vehicles and extend the service life
of the vehicle.
In addition to comfort, thanks to neoprene's resistance to high temperatures, the gas spring significantly increases the stability and safety
of commercial vehicles under extreme climatic conditions.

As a global air spring expert with German high quality, ContiTech will strictly adhere to the new Euro 6 emission standard to provide solutions in the future, helping customers to achieve commercial vehicles
that meet local and even international emission standards.
