The new Ford Capri and Explorer electric SUVs will come factory-fitted with the Continental EcoContact 6 Q summer tyres.
The Continental AllSeasonContact Also Available as the All-Season Option
Continental has been trusted to be Ford’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the new Capri and Explorer electric SUVs. Both vehicles will come factory-fitted with Continental EcoContact 6 Q summer tyres in 19, 20, and 21-inch sizes. In addition, Ford has also approved the Continental AllSeasonContact as the all-season option.
Designed for quiet and energy-efficient driving, the EcoContact 6 Q tyres are particularly suited to electric vehicles such as the Ford Explorer and the Ford Capri. The specially developed rubber compound lessens energy absorption while the car is in motion and reduces friction in the material as well as rolling resistance.
The developers at Continental have optimized the tyre’s tread. Lower rolling noise contributes to enhanced driving comfort. Thanks to modified blocks, sipes, and side grooves, the EcoContact 6 Q offers high mileage, excellent braking performance, and good handling. The tyre also provides a reliable grip on dry and wet road surfaces as well as excellent cornering stability, even at high speeds.
With rolling resistance class A and an XL marking for increased load capacity, the AllSeasonContact is the perfect all-weather tyre for electric vehicles. Continental significantly reduced the rolling resistance with an extremely energy-efficient tyre design and a new kind of rubber compound. This extends the range of electric vehicles such as the Ford Explorer and Ford Capri.
With its special tread profile and rigid profile design, the AllSeasonContact offers a high level of aquaplaning safety. The silica compound in the tyre enables a good grip and short braking distances in all weather conditions.
Low rolling resistance, low rolling noise, and high mileage are the focus of Continental’s tyre development. Due to their increased load index, the tyres are designed to cope with the extra weight of electric vehicles resulting from the battery. Around the world, the 10 highest-volume manufacturers of fully electric vehicles rely on Continental tyres for their original equipment.
