The VERA project consortium made a powerful impact on EuroBrake 2026, held in Mainz, Germany, 1-3 June 2026, showcasing our final results and promoting the conversation on non-exhaust emissions.
The Transport Research Arena (TRA) 2026 event has officially came to a close, and for the VERA project, it was a great success! Our booth became a hub for everyone interested in the future of sustainable mobility and solutions to reduce tailpipe and brake emissions.
The VERA project team is officially on the Transport Research Arena (TRA) 2026, at Booth D/17 where you can come and get introduced to the VERA team!
With just a few days to go until TRA 2026, the VERA project team is preparing to showcase how research translates into tangible impacts.
We are proud to see the VERA EU project represented at the Tunnel Safety and Ventilation Congress in Graz.
Check out this update from our colleague Rodrigo Herrero Paredes latest presentation. We are proving that capturing emissions at the source is the most effective way to ensure cleaner air for suburban rail passengers. Click here for full LinkedIn re-post.
We are excited to announce that the VERA EU project will host its final dissemination event at the Transport Research Arena (TRA) 2026 in Budapest.
We were delighted to take part in this prestigious event organised by the VERT-Association and hosted by METAS –the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology– on 19-20 March 2026 in Bern, Switzerland. Click to read more.
The final EU Project AeroSolfd event was completed in Barcelona on 26 June 2025.
The narrative around vehicle emissions has changed, and it does not revolve just around the tailpipe technologies.
Celebrating the VERA project's second year of impactful collaboration!
Valuable insights and strategic discussions during the VERA project 18th month GA and review meeting at Idiada, Tarragona on 26 and 27 June 2024.

Delving into the details of particulate matter in Madrid's metro system focusing on trains’ brake wear!
The VERA project successfully convened its 12-month General Assembly at the Technische Universität Graz (TUG) in Austria on November 22nd and 23rd, 2023. The project partners gathered to review the accomplishments of the past year, and to engage in productive discussions and collaborative planning for future project milestones. The event, hosted by TUG, provided an opportunity for the consortium to coordinate strategies and bolster our commitment to advancing sustainable retrofit vehicle aftertreatment and brake technologies.
In this study, we evaluate passive brake modifications and active filtration under real-world driving conditions, achieving PM emission reductions up to 94% and 97%, respectively.
Published in Advances in Automotive Exhaust Gas Control and Aftertreatment Technologies, this chapter details the principles and applications of three- and four-way catalytic converters for effective vehicle emission control.
In this paper, we present a 1D transport model to evaluate indoor air quality across an entire subway line (Madrid Metro Line 1). Incorporating real train dynamics, ventilation schedules, among others, the model tracks spatial and temporal particulate emissions generated by mechanical braking. We utilise this framework to assess mitigation strategies, specifically highlighting the impact of Tallano Technologies' on-board retrofit filtration systems in capturing brake pollutants at the source.
In this paper, we present an efficient testing-and-modeling framework to design vehicle retrofit solutions that reduce solid particle number (SPN) emissions. Applied to a Euro 6d CNG car, our optimized coated Gasoline Particulate Filter (cGPF) achieved >90% filtration efficiency while maintaining stable engine backpressure. This scalable approach enables rapid retrofit deployment to improve urban air quality.
