Rolling resistance

By reducing the rolling resistance of the vehicle, fuel consumption and pollutant emissions can be decreased. The surface texture of the road pavements significantly influences the rolling resistance. The potential for savings through low rolling resistance road pavements is substantial, as all road users contribute to it.
