New Emissions Analytics study suggests pollution from tire wear now 1,850 times worse than exhaust emissions

Green Car Congress

In early 2020, UK-based independent testing firm Emissions Analytics published a study claiming that tire particulate wear emissions were 1,000 times worse than exhaust emissions ( earlier post ). As testament to the filtration efficiency of the latest gasoline particulate filters (GPFs), tailpipe mass emissions are now as low as 0.02

IAV develops new close-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment system for improved emissions reduction

Green Car Congress

IAV has developed a particularly closed-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment (EAT) system. Future diesel powertrains will need to be capable of meeting limit values that are even tighter than EU6. This way, exhaust gas flows through DOC and SCRF before it enters the turbine. —Matthias Diezemann.
