Resumen del proyecto:
The LIFE NEEVE project focuses on improving the air quality, legal regulations and sustainability of road transport while improving the quality of life and health of EU citizens. To achieve these effects, the NEEVE project aims to revolutionise the road transport sector by measuring and reducing non-exhaust emissions (NEE) from major sources such as brakes, tyres and road surfaces. While the regulation of exhaust emissions has been effective, there is still a strong need to address NEE (i.e. particulate matter and microplastics) from these additional sources which the LIFE NEEVE project will address. To contribute to legal regulation, the LIFE NEEVE project will study, characterise and measure NEE. In addition, the NEEVE project will design and develop real-time onboard measurement systems to monitor NEE. Innovative technological improvements in brake pads/discs, tyres and road surfaces will also be developed and demonstrated in real-world scenarios (Spain and Germany) to minimise NEE due to braking system and tyre-pavement interactions.
Through these innovative developments, LIFE NEEVE will achieve an accurate real-time monitoring of NEE for a better understanding of the NEE impact as well as a significant reduction of NEE from the automobile sector. For spreading the impact beyond the project execution, the NEEVE consortia will implement a wide set of actions and strategies to promote, replicate and exploit the innovative technological improvements in other EU locations and road transport sectors as well as to communicate the NEE awareness and foster vehicle manufacturers, policy makers and drivers to improve vehicle elements, traffic regulations and driving recommendations to achieve the maximal reduction of the NEE for enhancing the air quality, human health and climate.
