The Tyre Collective Ltd

A new collaboration between The Tyre Collective and Transport Research Laboratory. This feasibility will deliver an MVP platform that enables data exchange to reduce vehicle air pollution. To narrow the scope for feasibility, our focus is on commercial freight vehicles, which represent 30 percent of all traffic in central London and make an estimated 281,...

Standard tyres shed approximately 10-30% of tread during their lifetime, generating micro-pollutants which enter our atmosphere, oceans and impact human health. Over 40M tyres are fitted to cars annually in the UK alone, and will shed ~16% of their mass. This problem is exacerbated by the uptake of ULEVs, which are heavier and have higher torque, resultin...

Our vision is to transform the one of the most environmentally-damaging resources used in society, vehicle tyres, into a circular economy by reusing materials that currently cause air and ocean pollution, which have a detrimental impact on human health. In this project, The Tyre Collective will complete development of three critical components of their no...

The Tyre Collective will conduct a technical assessment into the development and deployment of an innovative, patent-pending tyre-wear collector. Tyres shed half-a-million tonnes of carcinogenic, toxic carbon dust every year. Accelerating the shift to low carbon transport will increase carbon emissions from tyres as a direct consequence. EVs and ULEVs are...
