HANOVER, Germany—Continental A.G. is presenting its latest synthetic rubber drive belt based on a new sustainable compound that will help the company further advance climate protection.
Making its debut at the Automechanika trade show in Frankfurt on Sept. 13-17, the new timing belt's profile side is made not from polychloroprene rubber, which is conventionally used for the product, but a new and patented synthetic rubber.
This new compound, Conti said in an Aug. 31 press release, has "a significantly lower global warming potential."
