What is Euro 7 for tyres?
The world is moving towards stricter emission norms like Euro 7. We have watched car manufacturers work on the engine as well as the transmission for making vehicle compliant with these norms.
With the Euro 7, things are slightly different. This is not just the vehicle but even the tyres that need to be compliant. Euro 7 will also limit emissions stemming from tyre abrasion. The only tyres with the abrasion rates below the Euro 7 limits will receive the type approval.
Why Euro 7 for tyres?
The Euro 7 emission norms aim to reduce the microplastics and particulate matter (PM) from the tyres used in cars. Over time, tyres, like any other component in a car, start to show wear and tear. These particles often consist of microplastics and can end up in water bodies and other areas, contributing to pollution.
