Tyres Europe is supporting the development of workable abrasion limits for tyres, as a part of the UNECE Working Party on Noise and Tyres (GRBP)
A New Regulation
UNECE Task Force on Tyre Abrasion is working on a proposal for a new Regulation that would establish tyre abrasion provisions for type approval, building on methodology work already approved and now moving toward defining limits for passenger car tyres.
Adam McCarthy, Secretary General at Tyres Europe, commented: “Reducing tyre abrasion is an important environmental objective and it requires rules that are not only ambitious, but also enforceable in practice. For a global product like tyres, globally aligned standards help deliver consistent compliance outcomes and avoid fragmentation across markets. This is also essential to support effective implementation under the Euro 7 framework in the EU.”
