India may follow in the footsteps of the European Union, Japan and South Korea in rating automobile tyres as per their fuel efficiency and rolling resistance in a wider effort to empower consumers and allow them to take informed decisions about their purchases, the Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) said here on Wednesday.



Work is in progress with a high-level government panel comprising officials from the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Ministry of Road transport and Highways and automobile testing agencies exploring theinitiative.



The tyres will be tested and given ratings on two important parameters; rolling resistance a parameter indicating fuel consumption and wet grip index a crucial safety feature indicating a tyre’s braking ability on a wet road. Currently, the European Union, Japan and South Korea have labelling programmes for tyres.



In the last few years, India has taken several steps to promote efficient use of fuel in the transport sector, with the most recent being rolling out of Bharat Stage VI vehicles and a push towards adoption of electricmobility.



The rationale for labelling tyres stems from an assessment of the role played by tyres in the vehicle’s performance and the potential scaling up of the contribution of this important component to automobile efficiency. While the fuel efficiency of a vehicle is dependent on various factors such as engine efficiency, transmission design, aerodynamic drag, weight, components, type of fuel, driving technique, AC usage, terrain, road condition, turns, wind and its maintenance, the role played by tyres in the vehicle’s performance cannot be ignored, says PCRA.
