Webinar: Tyre emissions from the latest electric vehicles
Our CEO & Founder, Nick Molden presented a webinar on the tyre emissions from the latest electric vehicles on 19th September 2023. The world is on a path to electrifying everything that moves, primarily driven by the desire to decarbonise. But no vehicle is zero emission, and the latest emissions regulations in Europe, the US and beyond are now starting to incorporate non-exhaust emissions.

The world is on a path to electrifying everything that moves, primarily driven by the desire to decarbonise. But no vehicle is zero emission, and the latest emissions regulations in Europe, the US and beyond are now starting to incorporate non-exhaust emissions. The task is a major one, though, as changes in other regulations and tastes are leading to ever-heavier vehicles, which is likely to increase tyre emissions. What is less well understood is the chemical formulations used in specialist 'EV tyres', and whether they are potentially more or less toxic that standard tyres. This webinar will share the latest chemical profiling results from our EQUA test programme, to show the key trends.
This is particularly relevant in the light of the California Environmental Protection Agency’s new rule on chemical composition, aiming to reduce the use of the toxic 6PPD preservative. We will show the extent to which alternatives are already being used. We will also consider the progress the European Union is making on its Euro 7 regulation for tyres. Current proposals for a measurement method fromt he Task Force on Tyre Abrasion will be reviewed in the light of our real-world wear rate testing. How efficient and effective will the proposed method be, and what might an optimal initial limit value look like? This testing fits within Emissions Analytics’ expanded EQUA test programme, which includes regulated and unregulated tailpipe emissions and vehicle interior air quality.
