New Volvo XC90 will come with enhanced multi-filter to improve interior air quality

Volvo Cars has announced that the new Volvo XC90 will feature a larger, more efficient multi-filter to improve air quality inside the car.This is part of Volvo Clarity to control interior air quality and provide a better driving environment through innovative solutions.With a multi-filter designed specifically for the SPA platform, the new XC90 sits and has a larger design to filter out more particles and pollen.The filter also gets an effective layer of charcoal, effectively removing a range of pollutants that can affect a driver's health.

Tests have proven that with the new multi-filter, up to 70% of "fine dust" particles smaller than 0,4 μm can be kept on vehicles without filters.In addition to the filters, Volvo's state-of-the-art Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) has another element, which is a sensor that monitors the incoming air for toxic substances.If high levels of harmful substances are detected, the sensor will automatically contact the car's intake air.Multiple filters and sensors work together to keep out some harmful and irritating pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, ground-level ozone, gases and unpleasant odors.

“Up to 45% of the industrialized world’s population is now suffering from some form of allergy or hypersensitivity. Over 10% have asthma. At Volvo, our commitment to safety goes beyond seat belts and airbags. It’s about making sure you and your Every minute that families spend at Volvo is as safe as possible. That includes breathing,” said Peter Pate, senior vice president of research and development."With this filter, we are now at the forefront of particle separation."
