Continental and SHARE NOW Denmark Broaden Partnership

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° 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 Morten Jakobsen, CEO of SHARE NOW Denmark. “Continental’s many years of experience and extensive network of service partners have allowed it to address our particular requirements and deliver a tailored tire and service concept for our fleet. Continental is a partner who understands us.”

Premium tires and service as part of Conti360° Solutions

Continental will be supplying long-lasting, safe, fuel-efficient premium tires and services to SHARE NOW Denmark as part of its new Conti360° Solutions contract. The vehicles will be fitted with AllSeasonContact tires, which were purpose-developed for all-year-round urban use in temperate weather conditions. Tire pressure readings are taken in real time using sensors. This data is relayed directly to the SHARE NOW Denmark Head of Operations via the cloud, enabling them to view the condition of the tires on the vehicles at all times and take any action necessary. “The permanent availability of data enables us to carry out fleet management quickly and cost effectively,” explains Steen Herløv Andersen, Head of Operations at SHARE NOW Denmark. “Low tire pressure causes higher rolling resistance leading to decreased battery range and tire wear.

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° 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.
