| 摘要： | The tyre market has faced a number of challenges over the years, with customers often not seeing beyond the black rubber circle itself and therefore choosing the cheapest option to keep operating costs down. Evidence has shown this approach to be a false economy, particularly with the availability of retreads, which offer a different option and have the added bonus of ticking the sustainability box. In the works is a fresh look at how retreads are rated for rolling resistance, wet braking and noise, set to be announced by the end of the year. "As far as we know from official documents, the EU regulator is expected to publish a proposal for TBR [truck, bus and radial] retread labelling by Q4 2023," explains Krzysztof Michalik, head of retread, Bridgestone EMIA. "That means, at the moment, we don't know how that proposal will impact our operations because we first need to get some more clarity around the test method and grading approach." |
