Amendment 16 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) It is appropriate to implement the measures announced in the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament “Results of the review of the Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles” aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from tyres. This reduction should be achieved through a combination of low rolling resistance tyres and the use of Tyre Pressure Monitoring SystemFunctions. At the same time, it is also appropriate to set out requirements aimed at reducing tyre-road noise and ensuring that tyre safety levels are maintained through the introduction of wet grip requirements. The related implementation timetable should reflect the degree of challenge in meeting all of those requirements. In particular, due to the challenge in meeting the requirements on rolling noise and taking into account the time needed by industry for replacing existing lines of tyres, it is appropriate to provide for a longer period for implementation of rolling noise requirements with regard to new tyres of existing types.

Article 9 – paragraph 2
2. Vehicles in categories M1 shall be equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, capable of warning the driver when any tyre is operating at a dangerously low pressure level, andFunction, advising the driver when any tyre istyres may be operating at a pressure level significantly below the optimum recommended pressure for good fuel consumption.
