Continental Corp. highlights its Smart Air Springs for heavy-duty truck and trailer applications.

The air spring system is specially developed for trailers and enables the effective and reliable damping of the chassis over its entire service life. This, the company says, can help avoid breakdowns caused by faulty or worn shock absorbers, eliminate oil leaks and reduce the weight of the truck. The air springs include several additional features to make them lightweight, including the ConSnap metal ring and the use of components made from polyamide instead of steel or aluminum.
