Conti HTR 2 trailer tyre receives 2009 iF product design award for outstanding design An international jury has awarded the “iF product design award 2009” to Continental for the excellence of its new HTR 2 trailer tyre design

The HTR 2 heralds a completely new generation of tyres that will be launched over the next two years and the product range represents a quantum leap in terms of technology. Thanks to its high mileage, the patented “Airkeep System” for 50% improved constant tyre inflation pressure and low rolling resistance, the HTR 2 has secured the position of technical leader in its class within a short amount of time. The Continental tyre designers faced the challenge of creating a distinctive external appearance to match this quantum leap and they also had to convey the high quality of the product through the design.
