Fuel Efficiency Requirements for Tyres (ECE R117)

17-20 August 2015, Paris, France

Course Introduction

This Regulation is concerned with the maximum rolling resistance and minimum wet grip requirements of all new tyres, imported, produced or sold.

It allows end-users to make more informed choices when purchasing tyres by considering this information along with other factors normally considered during the purchasing decision process.

The goal is to improve the safety, the economic and environmental efficiency of road transport by promoting fuel-efficient and safe tyres.

Course Objectives:

The training targets are to:

• Understand the ECE R117 regulation, stakes and regulatory requirements,
• Understand tests applied to the tires,
•  Know how to put in place the test procedures.

Target Group

 Engineers and technicians working in NSBS and the legislative bodies (mechanical and metal products sector).

• Specialists in laboratory testing related to general materials and tires in particular
• Associate to the Centers for energy efficiency, especially with the relationship efficient fuel consumption for vehicles (Fuel Efficiency).
• Regulatory authorities in the field of environment protection and reduce pollutants from mobile sources.
