NHTSA Issues Tyre Efficiency Programme Final Rule
In the US, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a final rule regarding a proposed tyre efficiency consumer information programme. This document establishes the test procedures for tyre manufacturers to use in a new consumer information programme intended to provide consumers with comparative information on fuel efficiency, safety and durability when purchasing replacement passenger car tyres. The programme, when fully implemented, will offer information both at the point of sale and online.
