The Tyre Collective mindert Emissionen, indem es Reifenpartikel unmittelbar an der Kontaktfläche auffängt und so für saubere Luft und den Schutz unserer Umwelt und Gesundheit sorgt.

00:00Tire wear is actually the second largest microplastic pollutant in our oceans and not only that but
00:13they become airborne at the roadside.
00:29This is our proof of concept prototype.
00:31The tire is driven by a motor where it's in contact with a static road which mimics
00:37the car constantly skidding and our prototype is powered then by a dynamo at the top and
00:44the electrostatic plates at the bottom is where the particles are captured at source.
00:48So on a real vehicle this would be positioned right behind the tire as close to the contact
00:52patch as possible.
00:58By capturing at source we prevent these particles from entering the environment as a whole and
01:02therefore we're more effective than other devices that might work at the roadside.
01:23Most vehicles produce more tire wear due to their increased torque and battery weight
01:28but as we transition to EVs it's important that we are proactive rather than reactive
01:33when it comes to tire wear.
01:34So we're not trying to clean up this problem when it's already too late.
