October 13, 2025. Iveco and Tallano Technologies, a French pioneer in the fight against fine particulate matter during braking, announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding to test the TAMIC® system, developed by Tallano Technologies, on Iveco heavy-duty vehicles in France. This commitment follows the first successful tests conducted in 2024 with the Paris City Council on compressed natural gas (CNG) Eurocargo models equipped with containers for the collection of household waste.
While engines have evolved considerably thanks to successive Euro standards and now drastically reduce exhaust emissions, fine (non-exhaust) particulate matter, generated by brake, tire, and road wear, constitutes an increasing proportion of traffic-related air pollution. To address this challenge, Tallano Technologies has designed the TAMIC® system, a patented and innovative solution that captures up to 70% of brake emissions. Installed as close as possible to the braking components, this on-board device extracts, filters, and safely stores the generated particles.
In 2024, Paris City Council laid the groundwork for this innovation by testing the TAMIC® system on its first vehicle: a 16-ton CNG Eurocargo truck equipped with a container for household waste collection. This pilot phase validated the solution’s technical integration and performance under real-world conditions, and gathered encouraging data on particle capture. The performance achieved, which met the target of 70% dust capture, confirms the system’s potential and highlights the need for larger-scale testing. At its meeting on June 6, 2025, Paris City Council approved the continued deployment of three new household waste collection vehicles between 2025 and 2026.
