Exposure to air pollution is associated with around seven million premature deaths per year across the world. When we think of urban air pollution, diesel exhaust emissions are often portrayed as a key culprit – rightly so, given previous research findings. However, our latest research shows that dust from brake pads could be more harmful to our lungs.
I wonder how electric motors perform there. With regenerative breaking, there might be less wear and tear?
Regenerative braking makes pads last much longer.
