ContiTech is showcasing its forward-looking technologies that make commercial vehicles safer, more efficient and eco-friendlier at the 63rd International Motor Show (IAA) in Hanover (September 23 to 30).
The presentation at booth B05/A06 in hall 17 focuses on the second generation of the SCR line systems, air spring systems with integrated data storage, lightweight components for air spring systems, thin foils for car interiors, a translucent concertina wall with graffiti protection for articulated buses and a lining for fuel tanks that provides a high level of safety in the case of accidents.
With its second generation of hose lines for the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) exhaust gas purification technology, ContiTech has assumed a pioneering role. By means of a carbamide solution (AdBlue), noxious nitrogen oxide (NOx) is transformed into water vapor and nitrogen. The new generation of hoses has heated quick connectors with optimized bonding, guaranteeing consistent thawing of the medium, even close up to the plug connector. In the future, three SCR line types will be available: the previous standard solution; an advanced, higher-quality rubber hose; and a plastic solution.
ContiTech Fluid Technology has developed extremely resilient fuel lines especially for high-power truck engines with up to 16 l capacity and reduced fuel consumption. The new lines can withstand pressures of up to 35 bar and operating temperatures of up 130°C. Conventional lines are not able to cope with the requirements of these heavy duty engines.
