Mastering mobility with non-exhaust emissions
As cities work to achieve their emissions reductions goals and implement changes for more sustainable transport systems, the focus has long been on reducing vehicles’ exhaust emissions. However, a less visible but increasingly significant source of pollution has persisted: non-exhaust emissions (NEE). Non-exhaust emissions are particles that get released into the air from parts of […]
Study on non-exhaust emissions (NEE) in road transport
Why this study matters More than 96% of the European population was exposed to PM2.5 concentrations exceeding the World Health Organization’s annual air quality guideline limit in 2022 .Road transport is a primary source of particulate matter in urban areas. As exhaust emissions decrease, non-exhaust emissions (NEEs) – particles from brake, tyre and road wear […]

Bicycle culture know-how in Helsingborg
Despite substantial investment in infrastructure and mobility management, the people of Helsingborg tend to travel by bicycle less than people in similar-sized cities and in the rest of the region. The city wishes to understand the factors that encourage or discourage cycling, focusing on public behaviour and ways to promote a cycling culture. The Nudgd […]
VELOSAFE
The rapid growth in e-bike adoption across Europe has created new challenges in bicycle security. As e-bikes become increasingly popular for urban mobility, their higher value makes them particularly attractive targets for theft. Traditional insurance and recovery methods have proven inadequate, with low recovery rates for stolen bikes. This not only causes financial losses but […]
TC05
Tyre wear and non-exhaust emissions (NEEs) are the dirty secret of the transport industry and a significant contributor to urban air and ocean microplastic pollution. Despite targeted policy measures in cities (Euro 7), there has been a consistent rise in NEEs caused by tyre, brake and road wear, especially in electric vehicles. The Tyre Collective […]
