Tyre emissions are an under-estimated and increasing source of pollution from vehicles. Emissions Analytics has built international expertise in the area, and continues to innovate and build a long-term competitive position. Studies of tyre emissions mostly focus on the release of particles through abrasion with the road surface - but that is not the only...

In recent years, tyre wear emissions have become a significant environmental concern, driven by factors such as vehicle electrification and research on the impact of tyre chemicals and microplastics on marine pollution. Emissions Analytics has developed successful methods, products, and services for testing individual vehicles and their tyres, but there r...

With the on-going roll-out of electric vehicles, tyres and their associated emissions are potentially becoming the biggest source of pollution from motor vehicles, but measuring them is hard. It is an important area as tyres have been identified as potentially the largest source of microplastics in the ocean, as a result of run-off into water courses. Emi...

With the planned roll-out of electric vehicles, tyres, and their associated emissions, are potentially becoming the biggest source of pollution from motor vehicles, but these emissions are poorly understood. There is currently no standardised regulatory method for measuring the wear rates, the chemical composition of the abraded material or the ultimate t...

Tyres are the rolling basis of all transport yet during use are a major but largely 'invisible' source of microplastic pollution affecting air, land and sea. The UK alone produces 530,000 tonnes of tyre waste a year, but before we even get to the discarded carcasses of old tyres each one will have shed at least a kilogram of weight in abraded particles mo...

This 8-month project, commencing March 1st 2019, led by Vortex Developments 2014 Ltd, involves technology transfer from automotive to rail. The technology is a patented 'game changing' exhaust design that produces volumetric efficiency of combustion in the engine cylinders, and reduces fuel consumption as a result, as well as reducing diesel particulates ...

Poor air quality in populated areas is widely recognised as a national public health issue. In an attempt to combat this and reduce emissions in our cities, the UK Gov has allocated £101m for the creation of 6 ‘Clean Air Zones’ - designated areas where restrictions and charges can be placed on the most polluting vehicles. Original proposals contained plan...

This project will trial 81 dedicated gas HGVs ranging from 7.5 tonne to 44 tonne which are new to the UK market. Four vehicle manufacturers will be trialled across ten different vehicle configurations, creating a wealth of valuable data on vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, reliability and cost. When using CNG/LNG, CO2e savings of up to 8% can be achie...

Reducing air pollutant (NOx and PM) and CO2 emissions on UK roads is increasing priority for UK government, retailers, HGV hauliers and the general public. HGVs account for 17% of all UK road transport emissions; but the opportunities to significantly reduce their emissions in the near future are limited. The Reduced Emissions Logistics (Red-E-Log) projec...

TRIUMPH is a demonstration and study of zero emission capable trucks and refrigeration units in urban environments. Refrigerated urban delivery is a key component of the modern food distribution network and temperature controlled transport is highly polluting in urban environments. Zero emission technologies provide a solution to urban air quality and can...

This project aims to demonstrate the concept of optimising the driving style of autonomous vehicles (AVs) for passenger ride comfort, vehicle emissions and fuel consumption, and journey time. The results of this project will evaluate the impacts of customers interacting with AVs to specify a driving style to suit their requirements (e.g. minimise travel t...

This project will monitor and evaluate the operational and environmental performance of 34 dual-fuel heavy goods vehicles, from a range of different manufacturers. A telematics system will be developed to provide real time mpg data and gas substitution rates and exhaust emissions will also be monitored using on-board emissions monitoring equipment, giving...
