This project was born out of concern for the poor air quality in cities, caused by particulate matter. 55% of suspended particles (SMOG) are caused by the wear of car brakes, tires and asphalt. Around 7 million deaths per year are attributable to ambient particulate matter air pollution.

Our solution

Reverso is a module-based product that can be installed on the top of various vehicles, consisting of multiple filters able to clean microparticles from the air benefiting from the velocity and aerodynamics of the vehicle. Reverso generates a direct impact in contributing to the improvement of air quality in the cities. It is capable of reaching every last corner of the cities, since it is a totally mobile element and is directly related to the daily journeys of users. A single module is capable of filtering approximately 7,300,000 m3 of air per year. If Reverso were installed in all vehicles, can you imagine what it would be capable of?

Circular & Sustainable design

Reverso is built using a natural and sustainable fibre solution, which is both rigid and lightweight, meeting the technical and sustainable properties, without electronic parts neither influencing in the vehicle's perfomance. We would like to reach the big cities in order to improve the quality of life, creating a local ecosystem in which all phases of the project are developed, such as manufacturing, maintenance and distribution. In this way we could create local jobs as well as reduce the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process.
