- Description
- Synopsis The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an integral part of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and its mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce health care and other economic costs associated with motor vehicle crashes. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015 mandates the Secretary promulgates regulations for tire fuel efficiency and wet traction minimum performance standards. Since the Agency is adopting the test procedure of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 28580, it is required to establish a reference laboratory (hereinafter referred to as the "National Rolling Resistance Alignment Laboratory" or "Alignment Lab," or "NRRAL") for independent tire manufacturers to "align" their tire rolling resistance test equipment to the reference equipment using batches of pre-defined Laboratory Alignment Tires (or "LATs"). This proposed effort will enable the Agency to enforce the minimum standard by assuring that every tire's rolling resistance testing result is aligned.
