Lower Costs, Greater Efficiency: Adami Trasporti Relies on Continental Tires

Hanover, Germany, 25. November 2025. Continental has been supplying the fleet of Italian transport company Adami Trasporti with tires Conti Hybrid HS5, Conti Hybrid HD5 and Conti Hybrid HT3 since 2023. They have helped the logistics company significantly reduce its total operating costs and improve the environmental performance of its fleet. “With the rolling resistance-optimized tires, we are reducing our CO₂ emissions, saving fuel, and benefiting from high mileage at the same time,” reports Stefano Adami, owner at Adami Trasporti. “The fuel savings of one and a half to two percent are crucial for us, as consumption has a direct impact on our operating costs.” The Verona-based company also uses Continental's close-knit network of workshops. “The service and support offerings increase operational reliability of our vehicles and enable us to offer consistent and punctual services throughout Europe.”

The family-owned company Adami Trasporti, which now has 280 employees, has specialized in food transport for more than four generations. The fleet consists of modern tanks and tank containers designed for the transport of liquid food products. “With one of the most modern truck and trailer fleets in Europe, we guarantee our customers the highest quality standards and maximum service flexibility,” says Stefano Adami. The 200 vehicles operate from Verona and three other strategic locations in Castelmassa, Italy; Bratislava, Slovakia; and Beilngries, Germany – along the European and national north-south and east-west transport axes. “We transport liquids such as fruit juices, glucose, wine, milk, chocolate, and cooking oil. Everything is always done in compliance with the highest food safety standards,” says the freight forwarder.

The condition of the fleet is of critical importance to the company given the sensitive nature of the cargo, the stringenthygiene standards of the food industry, and the strict EU environmental regulations. “We continuously invest a significant portion of our budget in technological innovations,” says Stefano Adami. “These include digital systems for real-time monitoring of transport data and modern vehicles to reduce CO₂ emissions to a minimum.” The measures are supplemented by regular driver training sessions, the expansion of intermodal transport solutions, and the reduction of empty runs. “However, the choice of rolling resistance-optimized tires is also very important to us.”

Tires account for only two percent of the operating costs of a commercial vehicle fleet. However, through their influence on fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions, and toll charges, they can affect up to 31 percent of the total costs. For a long time, tire selection focused primarily on mileage, with cost considerations taking precedence. “This is justified for certain fleet requirements,” explains Kristina Kumme, Strategic Program Manager at Continental. “However, in view of strict EU emission guidelines and the transformation of the logistics industry towards climate-friendly solutions, rolling resistance is becoming increasingly important.”
