Invest in Clean Mobility: Become a Shareholder of The Tyre Collective
Capital at risk: Investing in private companies should only be done as part of a diversified portfolio.
What started as our master’s project, now brings people from different disciplines and industries together to tackle the complex problem of tyre wear. Today, we're inviting our community to join us on this journey, not just as supporters but as shareholders.
Did you know…
Tyre wear is the 2nd-largest ocean microplastic pollutant and particulate air pollution that is being regulated and only gets worse with electric vehicles (EVs) from the added battery weight and torque. At The Tyre Collective, we are:
Developing a patent-pending retrofit on-vehicle device to capture tyre wear at the source
Conducted 10 pilots and validated results by the industry
Working with manufacturers & fleets to transform the ~$2.86T global automotive manufacturing industry
We’re on a mission to capture tyre wear for a cleaner, healthier environment. We support businesses which share our mission to achieve zero-emission mobility – partnering with companies like CEVT, Volvo Cars, Zhero, Alphabet and a large EV manufacturer in the US.
Our plans for the investment
To date, we secured 8 UK grants and £1.5M in funding and invested £1M in research & development. Your investment will contribute to the next chapter of The Tyre Collective’s success:
Scale Up Pilots — with fleet operators and manufacturers in the UK, EU and US.
Expand Product Offerings — across vehicle segments and integrate our device in all future vehicles.
Accelerate Technology Readiness — achieve manufacturing readiness before 2025 commercial launch.
