Adopting the ContiLifeCycle concept soon adds up to real cost benefits for your fleet operation. Compared to the tread cost per kilometre (ppk) of the new tyre alone, the total cost of the full ContiLifeCycle can reduce tyre operating costs by an impressive 25%, and when managed effectively each tyre will run for up to a million kilometres throughout its entire life. The cost savings are significant: Phase 1 Assuming a new tyre policy cost per kilometre is 100%, then... Phase 2 Regrooving will save you 10% per km compared to just running new tyres... Phase 3 By regrooving and then retreading you could save 15% per km compared to just running new tyres... Phase 4 By following the full Continental Lifecycle, you could save up to 25% per km, compared to just running new tyres... But what does this mean in real terms and what is the impact on your bottom line? For a haulage company operating 30 x 40 tonne tractors and trailers each covering an average of 100,000 kms a year the annual tyre spend will be around £73,515. By following the full Continental Lifecycle the potential annual saving on tyres alone is £18,379. Just think what you could do with that saving every year! So the harder Continental tyres work for your operation, the more they contribute to your bottom line. ContiLifeCycle Introduction
