With effect from Thursday, November 1, new European Tyre Labelling Regulations (EC\/1222\/2009) will introduce labelling requirements with regard to the display of information on the fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise of tyres.<\/p>\n
The aim of the new regulations is to increase the safety and the environmental and economic efficiency of road transport by promoting fuel-efficient and safe tyres with low noise levels. This regulation allows end-users to make more informed choices when purchasing tyres by considering this information along with other factors normally considered during the purchasing decision process.<\/p>\n
End users should be made aware that the actual fuel savings and road safety depend heavily on the behaviour of drivers, in particular the following: eco-driving can significantly reduce fuel consumption, the tyre pressure needs to be correct and regularly checked for optimum fuel efficiency and wet grip performance, stopping distances should always be strictly respected. Customers should be made aware that these three criteria, although important, are not the only performance parameters.<\/p>\n
