Transdev, Tallano Technologies and IVECO BUS join forces to test TAMIC®, a system for recovering fine particles emitted during bus braking.
According to a report on Transdev’s official website, large-scale testing will begin in the second half of 2024 on an urban transport network.
Initially tested on three IVECO BUS (nouvelle fenêtre) city buses, this fine particulate pollutant recovery technology will be implemented on 50 IVECO BUS buses during the tests. Large-scale analyses will thus be carried out in a real-life situation.
Applied Technology
Developed by Tallano Technologies (nouvelle fenêtre) after many years of research and development, the TAMIC®* technological solution is entering a new phase of adaptation to intensive use in heavy-duty public transport vehicles.
Protected by a portfolio of some fifty patents, filed in more than ten countries, the technology makes it possible to capture more than 70% of the fine particulate pollution emitted by the friction of brake pads on bus brake discs.

Approximately, a city bus with an internal combustion engine generates around 4 kg of brake particles each year, which, without proper devices, end up in the atmosphere and on the ground.
The system works in four stages: Suction, thanks to a slot created in the brake pad; retention where more than 70% of the fine and ultrafine particles are captured; particle filtration and recycling of collected particles.
The innovation project led by Transdev, Tallano Technologies and IVECO BUS, in addition to being part of a shared desire to make transport cleaner and more environmentally friendly, also makes it possible.
