Take a breath

In order to reduce particles from brake and tire abrasion in the air, the European Parliament has decided to regulate these non-motor emissions for the first time. With the expansion of electrically powered vehicles, combustion engine emissions will eventually be completely eliminated. The focus is therefore shifting to non-engine emission sources.

Our services for clean braking

Testing at the accredited test facility
We carry out brake emission tests in accordance with UN-GTR No. 24 test procedures, including preparation and execution. We create detailed test reports automatically according to your specifications. We will offer Euro 7 homologation tests and conformity tests in the future.

Holistic engineering & consulting
In order to comply with limit values, we support you in the selection of friction materials and secondary measures. We offer a detailed analysis of the underlying factors influencing particle formation. And thanks to our excellent knowledge of trends and technologies, you can rely on us to react flexibly and avoid costly detours.

Virtual development methods
Using CAE methods, we optimize the efficiency of secondary measures such as brake particle filters and separation systems and support you in the design of the braking system with regard to thermal requirements, crack resistance and comfort requirements (NVH).

Data-driven emissions reduction
We develop prediction models and thus a digital twin of the braking system with regard to emission behavior. We derive control strategies, e.g. for regenerative braking. Traffic control can be optimized using V2X methods.

Comprehensive testing in a diverse testing infrastructure
At IAV, you benefit from extensive experience in the development, design, testing and integration of chassis components. We have many years of expertise in measuring exhaust emissions, which we build on with non-exhaust emissions. You have access to our component test benches for your performance and NVH tests as well as to complete vehicle tests on the road and on chassis dynamometers.
