Emissions Analytics expands 2027 US conference to include brake and tailpipe emissions

Expanded California-based event to unite leading experts in tailpipe and non-exhaust emissions.

Following the success of Tyre Emissions & Sustainability USA 2026, Emissions Analytics has announced an expanded 2027 event that will broaden the discussion beyond tyre emissions to include brake emissions and real-world tailpipe emissions measurement technologies, including Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS).

The event will take place on 25-26 March 2027 at the Beckman Center at the University of California Irvine, immediately following the long-established Coordinating Research Council (CRC) Real World Emissions Workshop in Long Beach, California.

The conference is being organised by Emissions Analytics with the support of Kent Johnson of the University of California Riverside (UCR), and marks the return of the highly regarded PEMS and On-board Sensing, Analysis and Reporting (OSAR) conference track, which he had previously run alongside the CRC event for fifteen years.

Following a pause in 2026, the conference will now return in an expanded format, combining the established PEMS/OSAR topics with Emissions Analytics’ growing Tyre Emissions & Sustainability conference co-located at the Beckman.  

SCHEDULE

  • Tyre Emissions & Sustainability USA 2027, 25-26 March

  • Innovations in PEMS 2027, 25 March

  • Brake Emissions Conference USA 2027, 26 March

The result will be a two-day event bringing together specialists from across the emissions, air quality, fuels, regulatory and vehicle technology sectors to discuss both tailpipe and non-exhaust emissions in one integrated forum. 

THE PROGRAMME WILL FEATURE:

Two full days focused on tyre emissions research and sustainability

  • A dedicated one-day parallel track covering the latest innovations in PEMS testing

  • A full day of specialist sessions focused on brake emissions

  • Technical presentations, industry discussion and networking opportunities across the full emissions landscape.

By aligning the conference directly after the CRC Real World Emissions Workshop, attendees can access five consecutive days of technical content and networking in a single trip to Southern California.

Nick Molden, Founder and CEO of Emissions Analytics, said:

“For many of us working in emissions, air quality and fuel testing, March in Southern California has become an important annual meeting point for the industry. We are pleased to help provide a platform for these important PEMS discussions in 2027, while also creating a broader platform that reflects how quickly the conversation around emissions is evolving. Bringing together tailpipe, tyre and brake emissions in one event creates a unique opportunity to examine the future of real-world emissions measurement from multiple perspectives.”

Emissions Analytics recognises the support of Kent Johnson and colleagues at UC Riverside, alongside early sponsors and industry contributors helping to support the conference launch. Special thanks should also go to Dave Miller of 3DATX for his instrumental support in helping facilitate the return of the PEMS sessions.

Further programme details, speaker announcements and registration information will be released in the coming months.
