'Continental is a partner who understands us.':
Continental and SHARE NOW Denmark are broadening their partnership. The move follows a successful collaboration between the two companies as part of a pilot project on tread depth monitoring for the car-sharing service's fleet that is set to run until mid-2022. In the future, SHARE NOW Denmark will have a Conti360-degree Solutions contract in place to handle all tire management for its fleet of around 700 vehicles. Close to 65 percent of these are electrically powered, while 35 percent have a combustion engine. 'The high level of trust in the partnership and the positive results we've obtained convinced us to place tire management for our vehicles in the hands of Continental. This will allow us to focus on our core business with new mobility concepts in the knowledge that our fleet of vehicles is being kept up and running,' says

Continental will be supplying long-lasting, safe, fuel-efficient premium tires and services to SHARE NOW Denmark as part of its new Conti360-degree Solutions contract.

Tire pressure readings are taken in real time using sensors. This data is relayed directly to the SHARE NOW
Both are bad news for us - from an environmental and cost perspective. Also, we avoid nervous customers driving in cars with a blinking warning light that indicates low tire pressure.' The Conti360-degree Fleet Solutions contract allowed the car-sharing provider to put together a customized service package and capitalize on the benefits available - from selecting and fitting the correct tires, to the training program for employees and data-driven tire monitoring.
New benchmark for smart, digital tire solutions
Since the pilot project began in late 2020, Continental has also successfully demonstrated real-time tread depth monitoring on vehicles in the SHARE NOW Denmark fleet. Partnering with telematics specialist Questar, the premium tire manufacturer has combined information from tire sensors and telemetry data for vehicles in the fleet with a specially developed algorithm in the cloud. As a result, Continental is able to predict tire tread depth with a high degree of accuracy. 'We are the first to market with a solution that can offer precise tread depth monitoring using an algorithm,' says
Interconnected data for smart mobility
