CTNA truck tires win EPA approval

July 16, 2007

Continental Tire North America Inc. (CTNA) says its HSL, HDL Eco Plus and HTL medium truck tires meet the Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay Tractor-Trailer equipment specs.

"Eligibility for this specification is based on a comprehensive set of tire performance requirements including environmental design and fuel consumption performance," say CTNA officials.

The SmartWay Transport Partnership is an innovative collaboration between the EPA and the freight industry "to increase energy efficiency while significantly reducing greenhouse gases and air pollution."
