Issy-les-Moulineaux, April 30, 2024 – Transdev, Tallano Technologies, and IVECO BUS are joining forces to test TAMIC®, a system designed to capture fine particles emitted during bus braking. Full-scale trials will begin in the second half of 2024 on an urban transport network operated by Transdev.
Not a freezing winter or scorching summer goes by without a peak in fine particles. Though they are odourless and invisible, they still pollute the air we breathe and affect human health. When is it time to say enough is enough? When should we be implementing measures to protect ourselves?
When they are inhaled daily, brake wear particles can exacerbate pulmonary and respiratory diseases in the most vulnerable people. Scientists have also found other risks. We shed some light on this still relatively unknown danger.
