Amid the global combat against COVID-19 and to hopefully prevent future pandemics, Geely has committed to produce healthier cars, as it introduces CN95 filters for its upcoming model set to be launched in the Philippines soon. Investing around $53 million on this new development, Geely will be the first Chinese auto manufacturer to have this type of air purification system in its vehicles as certified by German TÜV Rheinland Group. This move sets a new precedent in the development of safety technologies that goes beyond developing leading crash test results and moves into new dimensions of passenger safety, which includes driver health and well-being.
The key part in the air purification system of Geely healthy cars, the CN95 filter, will also be installed in the Geely Coolray soon. Further, Geely Auto’s R&D and design networks in Europe, USA and China will join forces to develop and research new environmentally sustainable materials which can be used within air-conditioner systems and on frequently touched surfaces such as buttons and handles.
What is a CN95 air purification system?
Teaming with professional medical and scientific research institutions and air filter companies, it is the first to develop a high efficiency air conditioning filter for automobiles in China. The CN95 has a high filtration efficiency for airborne microbial and inert particles that blocks at least 95 percent of very small particles. The CN95 filtration works with the Geely vehicles’ Intelligent Air Purificaiton System (IAPS) to effectively filter out dust, harmful gases, particulate matter (PM) 2.5 particles, and droplets with diameters larger than .74 microns which are often attached to corona viruses. The filter can also efficiently remove odor like absorbing the smell of smoke and purifying smoke particles.
