On 1 May 2021, the European Union will introduce a new regulation on the labelling of tyres with respect to fuel efficiency and other parameters. This is intended to enable you to make a conscious choice for more fuel-efficient tyres. Because this can contribute to reduced costs and lower emissions for both privately and commercially used vehicles.
In addition, the new tyre label applicable with this regulation supports the EU's goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. Road transport and the reduction of the CO2 emissions it generates play a major role in achieving this goal.
EU tyre label
The new EU tyre label presents the most important properties such as fuel efficiency, wet grip and rolling noise of tyres even more clearly and simply. In addition, it contains pictograms regarding grip on snow and ice as well as a QR code with which the product data sheet can be viewed.
Additional information on the new tyre label:
About the information on the new regulation on the labelling of tyres with regard to fuel efficiency and other parameters. Please note that actual fuel savings and road safety depend to a large extent on one's own driving style as well as on the specific conditions ( e.g. weather, topography, traffic volume) during the journey. Fuel consumption can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally responsible manner. To improve fuel efficiency and wet grip, it is recommended to check the tyre pressure regularly. Please also note that braking and stopping distances may change depending on the speed at which you are travelling and the weather conditions, and that appropriate safety distances should be maintained.
If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact your authorised smart or Mercedes-Benz dealer.
