Founded in Hanover, Germany, in 1871, Continental is responsible for many \u2018firsts\u2019 in its long history, including producing the first range of tyres specifically manufactured for the Middle East region.&nbsp;&nbsp;With so many historic achievements to its name, it seems only fitting the 150<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;anniversary celebrations carry the slogan \u201cMobility. Our heartbeat for 150 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continental has always held innovation as one of the pillars in its success, with a singular objective of facilitating customers\u2019 lives with the development of future forward and sustainable mobility solutions. The brand\u2019s teams of scientists and engineers have always been encouraged to let their imaginations run free to consider solutions sometimes derived from the most unusual sources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning, Continental started manufacturing a range of soft rubber products, rubberised fabrics and solid tires for carriages and bicycles. But it has also produced hoof buffers for horses to stop them skidding on ice and a special \u2018Aeroplan\u2019 material that covered the fuselage and wings of pioneering aviator Louis Bl\u00e9riot\u2019s plane during his historic first flight across the English Channel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u0635\u0648\u0631\u0629-1-\u0643\u0648\u0646\u062a\u064a\u0646\u0646\u062a\u0627\u0644-150-\u0633\u0646\u0629-\u0641\u064a-\u062a\u0635\u0646\u064a\u0639-\u0627\u0644\u0625\u0637\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a__.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"872\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u0635\u0648\u0631\u0629-1-\u0643\u0648\u0646\u062a\u064a\u0646\u0646\u062a\u0627\u0644-150-\u0633\u0646\u0629-\u0641\u064a-\u062a\u0635\u0646\u064a\u0639-\u0627\u0644\u0625\u0637\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a__-1024x872.webp\" alt=\"___\u0635\u0648\u0631\u0629 1 - \u0643\u0648\u0646\u062a\u064a\u0646\u0646\u062a\u0627\u0644 150 \u0633\u0646\u0629 \u0641\u064a \u062a\u0635\u0646\u064a\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0637\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a__\" class=\"wp-image-28518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u0635\u0648\u0631\u0629-1-\u0643\u0648\u0646\u062a\u064a\u0646\u0646\u062a\u0627\u0644-150-\u0633\u0646\u0629-\u0641\u064a-\u062a\u0635\u0646\u064a\u0639-\u0627\u0644\u0625\u0637\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a__-1024x872.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u0635\u0648\u0631\u0629-1-\u0643\u0648\u0646\u062a\u064a\u0646\u0646\u062a\u0627\u0644-150-\u0633\u0646\u0629-\u0641\u064a-\u062a\u0635\u0646\u064a\u0639-\u0627\u0644\u0625\u0637\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a__-300x256.webp 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u0635\u0648\u0631\u0629-1-\u0643\u0648\u0646\u062a\u064a\u0646\u0646\u062a\u0627\u0644-150-\u0633\u0646\u0629-\u0641\u064a-\u062a\u0635\u0646\u064a\u0639-\u0627\u0644\u0625\u0637\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a__-768x654.webp 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u0635\u0648\u0631\u0629-1-\u0643\u0648\u0646\u062a\u064a\u0646\u0646\u062a\u0627\u0644-150-\u0633\u0646\u0629-\u0641\u064a-\u062a\u0635\u0646\u064a\u0639-\u0627\u0644\u0625\u0637\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a__-1080x920.webp 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u0635\u0648\u0631\u0629-1-\u0643\u0648\u0646\u062a\u064a\u0646\u0646\u062a\u0627\u0644-150-\u0633\u0646\u0629-\u0641\u064a-\u062a\u0635\u0646\u064a\u0639-\u0627\u0644\u0625\u0637\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a__.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This consistent level of innovation has allowed Continental to bring to the world the first driverless car all the way back in 1968 and the first automobile tyre with a patterned tread; the invention of detachable rims for sedans \u2013 a remarkable innovation to help save time and effort when changing a tyre; the launch of an environmentally friendly passenger tyre, the ContiEcoContact, in 1991; and the world\u2019s first road tyre approved to drive for speeds of up to 360 km\/h \u2013 the ContiSportContact 2 Vmax.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other perhaps more curious inventions include the manufacture of tyres using a new natural source of rubber \u2013 obtained from the root of a species of dandelion.

It is not only dependable but also\u2026 rather spicy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The business has grown over its 150 years to now comprise around 233,000 employees working&nbsp;in the areas of production, research and development, and administration, in 58 countries and markets.
