Student project targets tyre and brake particle pollution
Original: Student VENTRA EV project aims to capture tyre and brake wear particles
The VENTRA EV project, a student-led initiative, is developing technology to capture tyre and brake wear particles, a major source of non-exhaust pollution from vehicles. The effort highlights growing attention on emissions that electric vehicles still produce, even as tailpipe emissions disappear.
Why now: Non-exhaust emissions from tyres and brakes are an emerging focus in debates about how clean electric vehicles really are.
