Hanover, Germany – April 29, 2015. The carrier company E-b-trans, which specializes in
the transportation of hazardous goods, has selected Continental as a Europe-wide partner
for its tire management. With locations in 14 European countries, the E-b-trans group, which
includes companies such as Klacska GmbH and Mineraloel Frachten GmbH, is one of the
largest logistics and transportation networks for dangerous goods in Europe. Continental was
selected thanks to its economical and customer-focused package. E-b-trans is equipping its
fleet with third-generation and second-generation Conti EcoPlus tires. In addition, E-b-trans
is using the Europe-wide Conti360° service network, which guarantees fast and straightforward24-hour service in 37 countries in the event of a flat tire. Another reason for selecting
the Hanover tire manufacturer was its internationally standardized processes, which support
tire management and guarantee complete transparency using the easy-to-operate CESAR
administration platform.
As part of the partnership, which is to last several years, Continental is equipping over 5,100
commercial vehicles with tires. E-b-trans is relying on the guidance of local Continental fleet
specialists when it comes to selecting its tires. In the agreed mileage contracts, they ensure
that exactly the right type of tire is employed to ensure an optimum combination of high mileage performance and low emissions. The tires are supplied by the Conti360° service partners, who are also able to install the tires at the customer's premises on a mobile basis.
"We need reliable partners to work effectively. As a Europe-wide transport company, we face
a lot of challenges. Continental understands those challenges and has shown a high level of
commitment from the very beginning. We are looking forward to a successful collaboration”,
says the CEO of E-b-trans France, Blaise Durand.

vehicle fleet, for which Continental will perform regular fleet checks. The product range is
being supplemented by the use of retreaded ContiRe tires, which are significantly improving
the costs and carbon footprint of the French company thanks to optimal and efficient use of
resources.
The E-b-trans fleet includes 2,700 trucks and 2,400 semitrailers transporting hazardous
goods for the petrochemical and gas industry. With an annual transport volume of over 50
million cubic meters of oil products, gases, and chemicals, E-b-trans is one of the leading
specialized carriers in Europe.
