Abstract
Brake wear particles (BWPs) are considered one of the most significant non-exhaust particle emission sources from motor vehicles. Previous studies have primarily focused on BWPs from conventional fuel vehicles (CFVs), with limited research available on BWPs from new energy vehicles (NEVs). We developed an independent BWP emission testing system applicable to NEVs and conducted BWP emission tests on representative NEVs and CFVs under various testing cycles via a chassis dynamometer. The BWP emission characteristics of the NEVs equipped with regenerative braking system significantly differed from those of gasoline vehicles. For transient emission characteristics, gasoline vehicles exhibited higher peak concentrations during brake events than brake drag events, while those with regenerative braking exhibited the opposite feature. Under continuous braking, the concentration of ultrafine particles emitted by NEVs was reduced by more than 3 orders of magnitude compared to gasoline vehicles. In terms of single-particle morphology, BWPs could be mainly divided into three categories: carbonaceous particles, iron-rich particles, and mixed metal particles. We obtained realistic emission characteristics of BWPs from NEVs, which could provide data support and a scientific basis for the formulation of relevant emission standards and control measures in the future.
