Keep Euro 7 tyre abrasion and brake limits for heavy-duty vehicles on schedule

Joint letter signed by ECOS calling for the Automotive Omnibus to keep limits on tyre abrasion and brakes for heavy-duty vehicles on track. To reduce microplastic emissions and protect public health, the Euro 7 framework for heavy-duty vehicles, brake dust and tyre abrasion is crucial. Delaying these measures pre-emptively - when staggered implementation was already built into the standards being developed at UN level - would send the wrong signal and undermine Europe's credibility globally.
