| 摘要： | Operators should be well-placed to respond to at least one aspect of the new proposed Euro Ⅶ emissions regulations. Surprise! Euro Ⅵ forced a lot of big changes in exhaust aftertreatment systems to reduce NOx. Euro Ⅶ proposals released last year further restrict those levels, as well as CO_2, and bring into scope emissions from tyres and brakes. This is a positive move. Promoting environmental sustainability is part of the mission statement of the SOE. The transport industry should be thinking about where tyre and brake particles go as they wear down: on the truck, the road, in the verges and the gullies that drain the roads, and onward into our rivers, lakes and seas. Even if not for environmental reasons, professional operators are already doing this for the economy. They are trying to keep the particles on the tyres in the first place, to minimise cost by maximising the life of expensive consumable items. Systems like walk-around checks make sure tyres aren't flat, and regular tyre checks keep on top of wear in a systematic way. Drivers are trained to avoid harsh braking and acceleration. Part of this involves keeping good records of when tyres and pads are changed, whether or not such information is being reviewed. That's the first step. |
