TC02: A patented electrostatic cleaning device that captures tyre wear at source to reduce air pollution

标准轮胎在其使用寿命期间会脱落约10-30%的胎面，产生微污染物，进入我们的大气层，海洋并影响人类健康。仅在英国，每年就有超过4000万条轮胎安装在汽车上，这些轮胎的质量将减少16%。ULEV的使用加剧了这个问题，ULEV更重，扭矩更高，导致轮胎磨损比ICE车辆快30%。** 增加道路上的ULEV将直接增加轮胎的碳排放，** 特别是对于转向电动的高里程LGV。未来两年，电动汽车的车队投资将增加近50%，达到120亿英镑。目前，除了定期清洁道路，或者对轮胎行业进行大规模改革外，还没有立即或预防性的解决方案来减少排放。轮胎集体（TTC）开发了一种 ** 专利的静电清洁过滤装置，可连接到车轮上，从源头收集轮胎脱落，防止其进入环境。**这个革命性的设备将能够连接到任何尺寸的车轮，并捕捉PM。在这个项目中，TTC将与未来的客户合作，在车队车辆上试用我们的设备。我们将与计算流体动力学领域的领先专家合作，以实现60%的PM捕获率。该项目的主要成果将是TC 02 V1，准备在2024年春季软启动。在该项目中，我们将：* 优化TC 02的设计，旨在匹配我们60%的实验室道路捕获率 * 与Zhero/WJ Group进行演示试验，以测试我们在车队车辆和未来市场上的设备 * 对TC 02进行安全和法规评估 * 环境评估，以审查TC 02在其使用寿命期间的影响。*针对LGVsTTC推出的TC 02版本1获得了众多奖项（例如James Dyson奖）的显著吸引力，并建立了强大的支持者、支持者和行业顾问网络，包括（例如CEVT）。我们的团队由机械、汽车和设计工程师以及高级商业顾问组成。该项目将包括世界领先的计算流体动力学（Filipe Buscariolo），颗粒物分析和表征（帝国理工学院伦敦），制造和产品安全（JNDC）和可持续性（Pilio）专家的贡献。

Standard tyres shed approximately 10-30% of tread during their lifetime, generating micro-pollutants which enter our atmosphere, oceans and impact human health. Over 40M tyres are fitted to cars annually in the UK alone, and will shed ~16% of their mass. This problem is exacerbated by the uptake of ULEVs, which are heavier and have higher torque, resulting in 30% faster tyre-wear than ICE vehicles. **Increasing ULEVs on-the-road will increase carbon emissions from tyres as a direct consequence,** particularly for high mileage LGVs moving to electric. Fleet investment in EVs will increase by almost 50% over the next two years to £12bn. Currently, apart from cleaning our roads regularly, or dramatically overhauling the tyre industry, there is no immediate or preventative solution to reducing emissions.The Tyre Collective (TTC) has developed a **patented electrostatic cleaning filtration device, attachable to vehicle wheels which collects tyre shed at source, preventing it from entering the environment.** This revolutionary device will be able to attach to any size wheel, and capture PM.In this project, TTC will work with future customers to trial our devices on fleet vehicles. We will work with leading experts in Computational Fluid Dynamics to achieve a PM capture rate of 60%. The main outcome of this project will be TC02 V1, ready for soft-launch by Spring 2024\.In this project we will:* Optimise design of TC02, aiming to match our in-lab capture rate of 60% on-road* Conduct a demonstrator trial with Zhero/WJ Group to test our device on fleet vehicles and across our future market* Carry out a safety and regulation assessment for TC02* Environmental assessment to review the impact of TC02 over its lifetime.* Launch TC02 Version 1 for LGVsTTC has gained significant traction from awards (e.g James Dyson Award), and has built a strong network of backers, supporters and advisors from industry including (e.g CEVT). Our team comprises mechanical, automotive and design engineers, and a team of senior commercial advisors. This project will include contributions from world-leading experts in Computational Fluid Dynamics (Filipe Buscariolo), particulate matter analysis and characterisation (Imperial College London), manufacturing and product safety (JNDC) and sustainability (Pilio).
