Honda has introduced a new anti-virus cabin air filter for its cars as a new Honda Genuine accessory, which is said to provide active protection by reducing the concentration of viral aerosols inside the cabin. The Japanese automaker has developed this filter in collaboration with Freudenberg – a global technology group.
Honda claims that this new air filter is highly effective in capturing a wide range of harmful germs, allergens, and even viruses that cause significant health problems. It features a four-layer filtration system for supreme protection that effectively filters, captures, and suppresses harmful environmental gases as well as inorganic and biological particles and aerosols (droplet nuclei significantly below 5 µm).
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Rajesh Goel, Senior Vice President & Director – Marketing & Sales, Honda Cars India Ltd said –
With increasing concerns around germs, viruses, and cabin air quality, it is our conscious effort to provide an active solution and a defence mechanism to mitigate possible health hazards caused by compromised air quality. This Anti-allergen & Antivirus Cabin Air-filter is a fine example of Honda working diligently with its suppliers towards delivering a product that improves the health and safety of driver and co-occupants of the car. We expect the demand for such protective solutions to increase rapidly in the future.
This new Antivirus Cabin Air-filter will be available for all the recent Honda models at authorized Honda Cars dealerships across the nation.
