Continental tyres explaining how to use EPREL to get alignment to taxonomy: “Achieving EU Taxonomy alignment for your tires involves a bit of detective work. Rely on the EPREL database, which evaluates tire categories, sizes, performance in snowy conditions (3PMSF), load capacity, speed category, and ice performance (C1). This portal, launched by the EU Commission, is your compass to determine whether or not your tires are ranked in the highest populated classes and thus align with the EU Taxonomy criteria.”

EU Commissioner for energy Kadri Simson
"30 years after the first EU Energy Label was born, EU ecodesign and energy label policies remains as important as ever to EU citizens, to our energy system, to EU competitiveness and to the environment. By promoting the development and market uptake of energy efficient and more durable and reparable products, these polices help consumers save money, whilst reducing costs for manufacturers and is a true win-win for Europe."
Monique Goyens, Director-General of the European Consumer Organisation BEUC
"Consumers want to get a fair deal both for themselves and the planet, saving energy and using appliances for as long as possible. But they often find it complicated in practice. Thanks to Ecodesign measures and Energy Labelling, European households can save up to €1 800 every year on their energy bills, as we showed last year. We trust the Commission’s new portal will help consumers know how energy-efficient appliances on the market are. A database’s worth lies in reliable data, so we welcome the Commission’s measures pushing manufacturers to be transparent."
Paolo Falcioni, Director-General of Home Appliances Europe (APPLIA)
"EU Energy Labels and Ecodesign has driven industry-wide innovation, fostering competition among companies to develop cutting-edge technologies that offered additional features and benefits to consumers. These measures allow manufacturers to gain a competitive edge by investing in R&D and differentiating their products. The launch of the new web portal on Energy Efficient Products today will help the sector comply with legislation and make information-sharing smoother across stakeholders."
