The TAMIC® system was deployed from December 2020 to January 2023 on an RER C car, under commercial operating conditions.

More than 70% of the fine particles generated by the braking system (pads and discs) were captured by the TAMIC® system. The results were validated by the Centre d’Ingénierie du Matériel de la SNCF (SNCF’s Rolling Stock Engineering Center).

The train equipped with TAMIC® covered 80,000 km per year. Up to 1.8 kg of dust was collected per filter during this period.
