Tyre Insights
Tyre Insights is the quickest way of distilling cutting edge tyre science to essential facts, empowering your business strategically to plan products that meet the needs and regulations of tomorrow.
Overview
Emissions Analytics’ new Tyre Insights publications will be a quarterly report offering an accessible synopsis of the latest developments in tyre emissions and sustainability research. In the last five years, the volume of research on in-use, manufacturing and end-of-life tyre impacts has grown rapidly. Much of this is in the academic literature and not easy to access or understand how it sits within the wider state of the science.
Research methods
Experts at Emissions Analytics and top international universities are tracking the latest research so that Tyre Insights can offer a regular analysis of the content and implications of this fast-moving field. The report will help to highlight where the science is still solidifying and where there may be ambiguous or conflicting data.
Any relevant peer-reviewed academic paper within the scope of this report is studied, assessed and summarised, making a critical judgement on the quality, importance and relevance of the material. Themes cutting across multiple reports will be brought out.
The findings will be put in the context of the latest findings from Emissions Analytics’ own proprietary research, to give additional depth and analysis. If deeper insight it required, Emissions Analytics offers complementary emissions databases, test methods and consultancy.
