As one of the world’s leading safety experts, Continental has set itself a target: to evolve from ‘best in braking’ to zero fatalities, zero injuries and zero accidents. This is the company’s ambitious ‘Vision Zero’ pledge, starting with unrivalled tyre safety expertise and broadening into other technologies the company has developed including ABS, ESC, EBA and others.

Continental Tyres’ partnership with the Irish Car of the Year awards is part of that commitment to safety. By showcasing the best cars and vans, the awards help Irish motorists make informed decisions about which vehicles are best and safest for Irish driving conditions.

“We are delighted to again support the Irish Car of the Year awards, which recognise the best cars launched in Ireland each year. These awards have always been a great help to Irish motorists when it comes to choosing a new vehicle and we are very grateful to the Irish Car of the Year jury for their time, effort and expertise in selecting the best cars for 2023.“
