They reduced tire wear-related FPM pollution by 70 to 80 percent.
and the engineering firm HWA have created and successfully tested a road vehicle that permits transportation almost entirely without emissions as part of their Zero Emission Drive Unit - Generation 1 project.
The prototype electric car, known as the Zero Emission Drive Unit - Generation 1 , has undergone successful road testing and has been almost emissions-free, making it the most eco-friendly road vehicle in use worldwide.“For us, people’s health and an unpolluted environment are paramount. With the prototype ZEDU-1 presented today, we are showing solutions for how we can be on the road in the future with virtually no emissions.
The project team has pioneered entirely new technological ground. There is no longer the traditional disc brake in the wheel. Instead, a multi-disc brake is used as a novel solution to remove the brake from the wheel and integrate it into the closed electric motor gearbox unit. The braking energy can be almost totally recovered when used in conjunction with specially designed high-performance electronics.
According to the DLR, the ZEDU-1 successfully caught and secured all tiny particles and microplastics created by tire and brake wear at speeds of up to 31 mph during its initial testing. Above that speed, the device could reduce tire wear-related FPM pollution by 70 to 80 percent. The technology will next be improved upon in conjunction with company partners to be ready for mass production.
