Evolving issues from the new Euro 7 standards and TRWP mitigation
The study addresses the automotive industry's challenge in managing non-exhaust emissions, particularly tire wear, under Euro 7 legislation. It examines airborne tire particle formation, emphasizing driving dynamics' impact. Tests using a specially designed research vehicle on a proving ground identified driving severity as a major influence on particle formation, with tire temperature and friction work affecting particle size and quantity. The findings highlight the need for further research to quantify tire wear's contribution to PM10 particles and identify key formation parameters. This knowledge is vital for developing effective environmental protection measures and optimizing tire compounds.
