Continental brings dandelion rubber to CVs

摘要

The company said that 'as an agricultural crop, dandelions have the potential to become an alternative, environmentally friendly raw material source, thereby helping to reduce our dependency on traditionally produced natural rubber.' German automotive parts manufacturer and supplier Continental is going to unveil components and tires for trucks and buses made from natural rubber derived from dandelion roots - Conti EcoPlus HD3, at the forthcoming International Motor Show Commercial Vehicles.
