The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) developed a system with two electrostatic filters, one in the front grille and another next to the brake caliper, tested on a Kia Carnival and a Hyundai Sonata. The grille retains at least 95% of PM2.5 and 99% of particles between 2.5 and 10 microns in the air passing through it; the brake collector captured 22.2 mg of dust per kilometer in the WLTC cycle. Euro 7 sets brake dust limits for new models from November 29.

  • KIMM tested two electrostatic filters on a Kia Carnival and a Hyundai Sonata: one in the grille and one behind the brake caliper.
  • The grille retains at least 95% of PM2.5 and 99% of particles from 2.5 to 10 microns in the air passing through it, with less than 1% impact on fuel efficiency.
  • The brake collector captured 22.2 mg of dust per kilometer in the WLTC cycle, about 10 grams every 450 kilometers.
