17.6.2019. The Contidrom test track, the tyre specialist Continental, can be visited online. This includes many movies and images were created exclusively on the site; visitors to the website www.contidrom.de experience a virtual tour of each of the tracks and can see the different Attempts in various movies.
In addition to the trips to the Wet and dry test tracks are also scenes with shots from the pilot plant “AIBA” (Automated Indoor Braking Analyzer) are available.
The Contidrom has since its inception an essential part of the research and development Department of Continental. Since 1967, around 2.2 million passenger Car, Truck and motorcycle have been tested tires. Here are the requirements and the volume of Testing has become more extensive. Reason enough to have a fallback solution for the cold Season:
In Texas, the Uvalde, the test site of the since 1989, the group corresponding to the General Tire brand, were reconstructed in the small wet handling course, the great and the small circle as well as the rail tracks exactly to the comparability of the test results and to allow the test engineers to the same test conditions.
Of course, not be carried out all the Tests for tyres only on the Contidrom – from climatic reasons, intensive winter testing on snow and ice, there are plenty of possible, but are carried out in the winter season, on the Continental testing grounds in Arvidsjaur, Northern Sweden.
