Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) The timetable for the introduction of specific new requirements for the type- approval of vehicles should take into account the technical feasibility of those requirements. In general, the requirements should initially apply only to new types of vehicle. Existing types of vehicle should be allowed an additional time period to comply with the requirements. Furthermore, mandatory installation of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems should initially apply only to passenger cars. The Commission should assess the technical and economic feasibility of extending mandatory installation of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems to other categories of vehicles, and propose an amendment of this Regulation, if appropriate, by 29 October 2010. Mandatory installation of other advanced safety features should initially apply only to heavy goods vehicles.

(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 below the target (g/km) to be achieved by improved motor vehicle technology. This reduction should be achieved through a combination of low rolling resistance tyres and the use of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems. 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.
Amendment 18 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1
Article 1
This Regulation establishes requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor, with regard to their safety. The type-approval requirements for Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems relate to safety, fuel efficiency and reduction of CO2 emissions. This Regulation also establishes requirements for the type-approval of tyres, with regard to their fuel efficiency, CO2 and noise emissions.

Article 4 – paragraph 2 a (new)
Article 4 – paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Tyre manufacturers shall present measured values from the type-approval test moulded into or onto each sidewall for each model with regard to rolling resistance coefficients (expressed in kg/t), wet grip index (expressed as a performance index, G (compared to the standard reference tyre) and noise emissions (expressed in dB(A)) and shall provide the measured values in a publicly available database.
Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 9 – paragraph 2
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, and advising the driver when any tyre is operating at a pressure level significantly below the optimum pressure for good fuel consumption, with a minimum degree of accuracy as follows: (a) to enhance safety, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System shall be able to detect and warn the driver within 5 minutes, when actual in-service operating tyre pressure of one or more tyres is under- inflated by 0.5Bar (50kPa) or more, compared to the in-service operating tyre pressure corresponding to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold tyre inflation pressure; (b) to reduce fuel consumption, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System shall be able to detect and warn the driver within 30 minutes, when actual in-service operating tyre pressure of one or more tyres is under-inflated by 0.3Bar (30kPa) or more, as compared to the in-service operating tyre pressure corresponding to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold tyre inflation pressure.
