CEO de Dunlop dice que normas de neumáticos de California no se probaron en la vida real

El jefe de Dunlop Tires Norteamérica, Darren Thomas, criticó los recién adoptados estándares californianos de resistencia a la rodadura, señalando que carecen de pruebas en condiciones reales y podrían elevar los precios para los consumidores. La Comisión de Energía de California aprobó por unanimidad un programa de eficiencia para neumáticos de reemplazo, que obliga a que la mayoría de los neumáticos vendidos en el estado cumplan con límites de baja resistencia a la rodadura desde 2029, con normas más estrictas previstas para 2033.

Las autoridades dijeron que la medida busca mejorar la eficiencia de combustible y reducir emisiones, aunque fabricantes como Goodyear, Bridgestone y Michelin advirtieron que podría encarecer los neumáticos. El gobernador Gavin Newsom defendió el programa, afirmando que reducirá el consumo de combustible y ahorrará miles de millones a los conductores.
