Visionary coupe self-cleans the emissions EVs still create
Electric cars don't cough out exhaust, but their tires and brakes are still shedding a nearly invisible haze into the air. A team of Dutch students has built a concept that gives those particles a static charge, then sticks them to a grounded surface, like a balloon grabbing lint.Continue ReadingCategory: Automotive, TransportTags: Technical University of Eindhoven, Eco-Friendly, automotive designers, Electric Vehicles, Microplastic, Pollution

VENTRA is a new sustainable concept car developed by the student team TU/ecomotive. The electric vehicle captures particulate matter generated by tires and brakes while driving, encourages a more sustainable driving style ...
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology have developed an electric car that captures particulate matter from tires and brakes while driving, the university reports. With this sustainable concept car, the student team TU/ecomotive aims to draw attention to a lesser-known form of emission. Electric cars do not emit exhaust fumes, but fine particles are still released while driving due to the wear of tires, brakes, and the road surface.
The electric Ventra combines lightness and dust capture of brakes and tires. A prototype that illustrates the stakes of the Euro 7 standard....
Up to 42 percent fine dust in the collector and almost 100 kilograms lighter: "VENTRA" cleans up when driving. With the Euro-7 standard, the topic becomes even more important. This article was sorted under Automotive, Technology, Electric Car, Mobility.
