Fine particles (PM10 and PM2.5) are the 2^nd leading source of air pollution in cities and the 7^th leading risk factor for death worldwide, causing about 240,000 premature deaths per year in Europe. Air quality becomes consequently a health public issue, thus a major challenge for cities. 

Road and rail transport represent, as a matter of fact, a significant source of fine particle emissions in urban areas, estimated at ~30%. In cities, heavy vehicles (such as garbage trucks, refrigerated trucks, buses, etc.) emit more fine particles than average due to their frequent braking and heavy weight. 

Particulate matter from brakes contains carbon and heavy metals, making them harmful to health (carcinogenic). 

Tallano Technologies, a French Cleantech company, with the partnership of key players like IVECO, has made it its mission to reduce this pollution type with TAMIC®. The innovation is available both for first equipment installation and retrofitting. 

Tallano’s TAMIC® technology is an active solution vacuuming at source fine particles from brake pads and discs. The system operates in four stages to prevent the dispersion and inhalation of this pollution:  

• suction (enabled by a groove in the brake pad),  
• particle retention and capture,  
• filtration,  
• recycling.  

Protected by a portfolio of more than 50 patents across 11 countries, the technology captures over 70% of the pollution generated by the friction between brake pads and discs. 

TAMIC® offers consequently a tangible solution to reduce pollution peaks in urban areas, and help cities to meet the objectives of the EU2024/2881 directive. It will help also trucks & bus manufacturers to comply with the future Euro 7 standard. 

That is why Tallano Technologies partners successfully with key players in the heavy duty and railway industries, such as IVECO, SNCF, Ville de Paris, etc. to deploy easily and safely the TAMIC® technology on vehicles, without impacting the vehicles’ performances. 

TAMIC is the only technology on the market capturing minimum 70% of polluting dust from brakes, on the lifetime of vehicles, in a generic way for different kind of vehicles, and indifferently as an OEM, OES or retrofit solution. 

TAMIC reduces by more than 70% of the brake emission of fine particles and contributes this way to improve air quality and biodiversity care. 

Tallano & TAMIC awarded at last Pollutec show in Lyon and labelled Solar Impulse in France. 

Tallano will start a life cycle analysis at the end of this year, to be completed mid of 2027. 

Tallano actively works with major recycling companies to find a recycling solution for the polluting dust captured in filters in a circular economy approach. 

Evelity is an inclusive wayfi nding app for indoor and outdoor spaces. It turns complex venues into simple, accessible places for everyone. Hospitals, campuses, offices and transit hubs are hard to fi nd your way around. First-time visitors get lost, arrive late and feel stressed, and people with disabilities lose autonomy every day. For site managers, physical signage and guiding by reception staff are rigid and expensive.

Evelity gives step-by-step, real-time guidance from the entrance to the right room, desk or platform. Routes adapt to each user’s needs, and the interfaces work for everyone, including people with visual, motor, hearing or cognitive impairments. More than 1,000 user tests have validated the app.

Our latest innovation, Evelity Vision, uses computer vision and SLAM to position users to within a metre using only their smartphone camera. It needs no physical bluetooth beacons. A single 360° camera maps a whole site in a few hours, and deployment anywhere in the world takes 1 to 2 months.

Site managers get a better visitor experience, concrete accessibility compliance and measurable savings: over €450k per year for a mid-sized hospital. They run the service themselves through an AI-powered back office, with full GDPR compliance.

Evelity is already deployed in production covering 1.8 million m² across 50 sites on 3 continents, with 50,000 users. Customers include SNCF, the Athens, Lyon, Marseille and Lille subways, Dubai Airport, Sanofi , TotalEnergies, Accor, the 15-20 National Eye Hospital, Lyon universities, Paris 2024 and WUF 2026.

Evelity makes the smart city easy to navigate for every visitor, from fi rst-timers to the 1.3 billion people living with a disability.

Evelity Vision turns a building’s existing visual environment into its map. The smartphone camera matches what it sees against a reference image base built with a 360° camera, locating users in about 2 seconds to within 1 meter. Motion sensors take over between scans, with no beacons or hardware to install. AI automatically blurs every face in mapping and user scans, and no personal data or images are stored: fully anonymised, GDPR-compliant and privacy by design.

Okeenea’s commitment goes beyond software. Over 10% of our employees have a disability, so users’ needs are understood from within our teams. Choose My Company has independently audited our CSR approach and awarded us the We Impact Index label (3.58/5). We recycle all our equipment and encourage remote work and low-carbon commuting. Evelity is private by design and GDPR-compliant: no account, no email address and no personal identifi cation are required.

Since 2023, Sanofi has used Evelity on 4 strategic sites worldwide to guide both employees with disabilities and fi rst-time visitors. At Lyon 2 University, we mapped 26 buildings and 61,000 m², guiding students from the tram stop to the lecture hall, with over 2,200 users in 3 months. At the 15-20 National Eye Hospital, the Hospitonomy project is testing Evelity Vision to guide blind patients to their appointments to within a metre, without the help of medical staff.
