Continental is now offering a full range of drive belts for the commercial vehicle aftermarket. Around 40 multi V-belt types have been added for the auxiliary drives of Volvo, Scania, Renault and Iveco vehicles.

The new belts feature profile codes 4PK, 6PK, 8PK, 10 PK and 12PK meaning they range from the narrow variant with four ribs to the widest with twelve. They are made of fibre-reinforced synthetic rubber with a polyester tension member. Continental manufactures its drive belts for the aftermarket to the same quality standards as its original equipment products, which are specially designed to meet the requirements of modern commercial vehicle units. That means workshops operating in the aftermarket can enjoy the same proven quality as original equipment. This reflected by the fact that Continental grants registered workshops a 5-year guarantee on the belts.

Continental added more than 40 new types for Mercedes-Benz, MAN and DAF vehicles to its range in the early part of this year. Now, distributors, commercial vehicle workshops and trucking companies with in-house workshops have access to a choice of more than 300 multi V-belt types for auxiliary drives. This extensive range means that Continental covers almost all the vehicle applications in the European market.
