Really cool: multi V-belts for commercial vehicles

Temperatures nudging 40 °C mean blistering hot asphalt outside and the potential for tropical conditions inside. Truck drivers and their vehicles have to work extra hard in the summer heat, so it’s all the more important to ensure reliable cooling of both the major assemblies and the vehicle cabin.

Here, workshops and service outlets can put their trust in quality from Continental. Following the launch of the 2022 product range, retailers, commercial vehicle workshops, and haulage companies with their own workshop have already been able to choose from over 250 multi V-belt variants from Continental, including models for trucks and buses from Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF, Iveco, Volvo and Scania. This means it is possible to respond expertly to the vast majority of repair needs for vehicles from the major manufacturers in the European market. 

These belts drive auxiliary components such as the water pump or fan in many models. They are therefore crucial for reliable engine cooling under extreme conditions. And in some vehicles – such as Volvo 8700, 9700 and 9900 buses and coaches or MAN TGA and Scania trucks – they drive the air conditioning compressor too, thereby increasing driver comfort and safety.
