1.A.3.b vi - Road Transport: Automobile Tyre and Brake Wear

Short description

In sub-categories 1.A.3.b vi - Road transport: Automobile tyre and brake wear emissions from automobile tyre and brake wear in RT are reported. Therefore, these sub-category is an important source for a) particle emissions and b) emissions of heavy metals, POPs etc. included in these particles.

Category Code Method AD EF
1.A.3.b vi T1, T3 NS, M CS
Key Category NOx NMVOC SO2 NH3 PM2_5 PM10 TSP BC CO PB Cd Hg Diox PAH HCB

Methodology

Activity data

Abrasive emissions from tyre and brake wear are estimated based on vehicle-type specific mileage data.

For detailed mileage data, please see superordinate chapter on abrasive emissions from road vehicles.

All reported emissons from tyre and brake wear are connected directly to the mileage driven by the road vehicles covered.

Recalculations

With both activity data and emission factors unrevised, emission estimates remain unaltered compared to last year's submission.

For more information on recalculated emission estimates for Base Year and 2019, please see the pollutant-specific recalculation tables following chapter 8.1 - Recalculations.

Planned improvements

Besides a routine revision of the underlying model, no specific improvements are planned.
