New research from EIT Urban Mobility and Transport for London finds that battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) reduce brake dust emissions by 83% compared to conventional cars. Thanks to regenerative braking, BEVs produce far less particulate pollution, even when accounting for heavier vehicle weights. The study also highlights a 38% overall reduction in non-exhaust emissions for BEVs and calls for further innovation in brake, tire, and roadwear technologies alongside a shift toward public transit and smaller vehicles.
