Air Quality and Road Transport: Tallano Technologies and DHL Supply Chain France Launch a Joint Reflection Around a Breakthrough Technology

• TAMIC®, a technology that captures brake particles at the source, will be tested under real operating conditions starting in 2027.
• An initiative shaped by tightening European air quality regulation and DHL Supply Chain's low-carbon trajectory.

The road transport sector is facing, across Europe, a progressive and converging tightening of the environmental regulatory framework. The Euro 7 regulation (EU 2024/1257) will introduce, from 2030 for heavy-duty vehicles, the first emission limits applicable to particles generated by vehicle braking — an issue that has long remained outside the scope of air quality policy. At the same time, the Ambient Air Quality Directive (EU) 2024/2881 sets member states, and their main cities, targets to halve fine particle concentrations by 2030. This dual momentum places the reduction of non-exhaust emissions at the heart of the challenges the entire logistics sector must anticipate.

It is in this context that Tallano Technologies, a French company developing TAMIC®, a solution that captures brake particles at the source, designed primarily for heavy-duty vehicles, and DHL Supply Chain France have engaged in discussions around evaluating this technology under real operating conditions, envisaged for 2027. The details of this project are, at this stage, still being defined between the teams of both companies and will be the subject of a future announcement.

This initiative is a natural fit with DHL Supply Chain's sustainability trajectory, whose strategy is built notably around a carbon-neutrality target by 2050 and a clear determination to anticipate the sector's environmental requirements. It also illustrates the Group's spirit of innovation, choosing to explore, alongside an emerging technology player, concrete responses to a challenge still largely uncovered by existing market solutions.

For the teams at Tallano Technologies as for those at DHL Supply Chain France, this collaboration reflects a shared commitment to combining operational rigor with a long-term vision for road transport. Both companies look forward to this budding collaboration and will share updates, in due course, on the findings of this evaluation.

"Anticipating our sector's environmental requirements is a responsibility we take seriously. Exploring a technology like TAMIC® alongside Tallano fits with that approach, and with our long-term commitment to more sustainable logistics,” said Christof Debrun, CEO DHL Supply Chain France.

Jean-Louis Juchault, CEO of Tallano Technologies, added: "Seeing a player of DHL Supply Chain France's scale take an interest in TAMIC® confirms the relevance of our technology in addressing the air quality challenges posed by road transport. This real-world evaluation will be an important step in our development."
