Link Engineering Company has been listed as an equivalent facility for tire abrasion measurement in an informal document published by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Working Party on Noise and Tires (GRBP). The recognition appears in Annex 4 of the newly adopted UN tire abrasion regulation, documented in Guidance GRBP 83 50, which establishes the technical basis for future Euro 7 requirements. Annex 4 confirms that on-road convoy testing and laboratory drum testing are equivalent methods for evaluating tire abrasion performance, enabling a method-neutral, scalable approach for manufacturers and laboratories.

Link advances tire abrasion compliance with the M5600A tire abrasion testing machine, designed to perform the UN regulation indoor drum test (method B) with optional one- or two-station configurations and camber angle control for upcoming regulatory updates.

As the EU7 standard for heavy-duty vehicles moves toward 2030 implementation, Link is also helping customers prepare with proven brake emission testing capabilities. At the Limburg laboratory, the Link M6900 commercial vehicle brake dynamometer – equipped with an advanced emissions package – is fully operational and supporting development and validation programs.

Link continues to support OEMs, suppliers and regulators with future-ready testing solutions. Find out more about its services at the expo.
