  • Mercedes-Benz gives approval for the EcoContact 6 
  • Continental also supplies seven of the world’s ten most successful makers of electric vehicles with various tyres 

Dubai, UAE, June 28, 2022. Premium German manufacturer, Continental is now the official supplier of tyres for the all-electric Mercedes EQB. The latest SUV from the EQ range from Mercedes-Benz will come as standard with Continental’s economical 19 inch, EcoContact 6 tyres. 

The EcoContact 6 is characterized by its outstanding energy efficiency as well as its superior handling and braking performance. Continental has lowered the rolling resistance of the EcoContact 6 by 15 percent compared with the previous model. The specially developed rubber compound minimizes friction when the tyre is in contact with the road surface, which means that it absorbs less energy and, in turn, rolling resistance is reduced.
