Better tyres cut carbon
ROLLING RESISTANCE HAS a major impact on fuel consumption – which, in turn, directly relates to a vehicle’s CO2 emissions. Choosing the right tyres has benefits for the environment and fleet operators, says Continental Tyres.
The sis especially true as eComm is leading to a sharp increase in van deliveries. The firm says transport service providers cover around 60 billion kilometres on deliveries in Europe and the USA each year – and close to 17 billion kilometres carrying returns.
Against this background, it is clear why the EU is imposing obligations on truck manufacturers to reduce CO2. By 2025 all truck makers must cut the CO2 emissions of their heavy-duty commercial vehicles by 15% compared to the 2019 average. By 2030 the reduction needs to be 30%. Tyres can play a significant role in achieving these ambitious targets, concludes Continental.
