”The more accurate information the consumers have before purchasing, the easier it is to make a choice that is both environmentally friendly and economically reasonable,” Minister of the Environment Keit Pentus-Rosimannus explained. Information on the bio fuel content of motor fuel and the correct use of different petrol mixes can be obtained from filling stations. Fuel monitoring database provides information on the results of the quality tests of motor fuel sold in different filling stations, enabling a consumer to make an environmentally conscious choice in buying fuel. Starting from November 1 this year, tyre producers and suppliers will have an obligation to use an energy-performance label on their products. It includes information on the fuel economy, rolling noise and adhesion utilisation of tyres on a wet road. Tyres produced in an eco-friendly manner are more fuel efficient and produce less noise and pollution, which is important in providing a good living environment. The aim of this obligation is to make road transportation cheaper, safer and more economically friendly. |
