- Continental will supply the Volkswagen ID. Cross with EcoContact 7 summer tires in three sizes.
- Winter and all-season recommendations broaden the tire options for the electric compact SUV.
Continental received a factory-fit approval for the new Volkswagen ID. Cross on Thursday, November 5, 2026, adding a new electric-vehicle program to its tire business. The company said the compact SUV will leave the factory on its EcoContact 7 summer tire in 17-, 18- and 19-inch sizes.
The real-time quote of Continental stock showed 70.81 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 10:11 CET on Friday, November 6, 2026, 0.04 percent above the Xetra close of Thursday, November 5. The comparison uses the previous Xetra session because the German cash market was still open.
Broader tire range for electric SUV
Continental said Volkswagen recommends the WinterContact TS 870 P for winter use. Approval for the 17-inch winter tire is expected in early 2027. Drivers choosing all-season products can use the AllSeasonContact 2 in an 18-inch version, according to Continental Investor Relations.
Continental Investor Relations presented the approval as part of the company's tire offering for automakers and consumers. The release does not include a financial contribution, unit target or change to the group's earnings outlook.
What investors should watch next
The announcement gives Continental an additional vehicle application but does not by itself change the company's published financial targets. Investors will therefore continue to focus on tire demand, regional replacement markets and the execution of the 2026 outlook.
The German DAX market backdrop remains relevant for Continental investors as the stock trades alongside broader European equities.
