Drumbuie Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 No mention of the amount of particulates that come from car and lorry tyres. Recent research shows little difference in pollution between EVs and petrol/ diesel fuelled cars - turns out its the tread on the tyres wearing off grain by grain that does the real damage... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETERTHEEATER Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 From the linked article: Additionally, the ministry is actively promoting the use of electric trucks to reduce transportation costs and address dust-related issues. This I have to see. How may truck agencies in the Kingdom offer an all electric version of a 10 wheel truck? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
