GoRolloe is developing hardware devices for commercial vehicles and buses that capture brake dust at source. We are unique in that we use reusable filters and utilise the existing energy off moving vehicles to operate our devices.
Our mission is to produce scalable solutions that can easily be integrated into existing vehicle fleets enabling manufacturers to meet goals and regulations whilst creating a cleaner environment.

PM capturing devices developed and being tested
The technology has been carried out across heavy goods vehicles and light commercial vehicles with the goal to capture brake dust at source. The devices are easily retrofitted with no modification needed to the vehicles. There are no external power requirements nor electronics as our devices use passive energy to operate.
​
Looking down the road, GoRolloe would like to expand our technology for the passenger vehicle and rail sectors.
70%
average PM capture and working towards increasing
Our capturing devices can currently capture an average of 70% of brake dust PM ranging from fine PM10 to larger PM.
We are currently optimising our designs to increase the capture rate.With our tests being carried out on old and new trucks, we have observed they both emit high levels of brake dust PM.
4
pilot trials with operational freight partners
We have conducted 3 on road trials of our tech on 44T trucks at Horiba Mira testing track. During testing, we use sensors and gravimetric testing to analyse how much PM is emitted and collected, and the chemical composition of the PM.
We have two more trials coming up in 2024 and will start open road trials and dynamo testing in 2025. Contact us to discuss setting up a pilot trial with us.

What we do
Research & Development
Concept to Manufacture
We conduct R&D by initially researching the problem and market needs and constraints. From there we develop initial concepts that we then prototype and test. Once concepts are finalised, we move into the design for manufacturing stage ensuring it meets market demand and production feasibility.
Prototyping
Rapid Development
We prototype efficiently using our six 3D printers and extensive workshop facilities, allowing us to rapidly develop and refine product concepts. Due to the large size of our prototypes, we have large scale printers that enable the production of full scale seamless devices. We use special polymers that can withstand high temperature requirements of automotive testing.
Testing
On the Right Track
​Our track tests enable testing devices and filters under real operating conditions. Testing is done using gravimetric (weighing) testing, observational analysis, and sensor data.
Our lab testing enables the analysis of PM chemical composition, post trial filter processing, and the technology's large scale impact on human health.

Our Latest Pilot Trial
14 November 2024
GoRolloe running pilot trials for our brake dust capturing tech at UTAC testing grounds with our trial partner Maritime Transport Ltd. Thanks to the great team of technicians at UTAC for the support and teaching us how to change truck wheels!
This is our last trial under the Freight Innovation Fund lead by the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom and Connected Places Catapult.
