In February 2021, DfT started a research project aimed at developing novel technologies to:
- measure brake and tyre wear emissions from road vehicles in real driving conditions phase 1
- address the knowledge gaps in how these emissions are generated phase 2
This report presents the outcomes of phase 1 of the research.
This study is a first of its kind for the novelty of the on-road measurement approach, which is more representative of real-world emissions compared with laboratory-based methods.
Overall, this study will provide evidence and build our confidence in understanding these emissions better, and how to control them through policy and legislation.
