Effects of Payloads on Non-exhaust PM Emissions from A Hybrid Electric Vehicle during A Braking Sequence by Worawat Songkitti, Sutthiphong Sa-ard-iam, Chalermpol Plengsa-Ard, Ekathai Wirojaskunchai

“…However, various past research works claimed that EV also emit PM like conventional vehicles due to their non-exhaust emissions from brake wear, tyre wear, road surface wear, and resuspension of road dust. In addition, strong evidence showed that there was indeed a positive correlation between the weight of vehicle and amounts of non-exhaust PM emissions. …”
