Jaguar And Land Rover Announce COVID-19 Efficient Interior Ventilation System

Jaguar and Land Rover have announced a new interior heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. It is able to trap up to 97% of bacteria and will be effective in combating the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The results are confirmed by laboratory tests.

• It is based on Panasonic nanoe X technology, which neutralizes harmful bacteria and viruses. Jaguar Land Rover teamed up with one of the leaders in microbiology and virology, Perfectus Biomed Ltd, to conduct a half-hour test. The sealed chamber simulated the interior of a car in recirculated air mode. The new development has eliminated 97% of the harmful particles inside. Including those belonging to the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

• The nanoe X's active air purification technology is ten times more efficient than the previous nanoe (hence the Roman numeral prefix). It "uses high voltage to create trillions of hydroxyl (OH) radicals enclosed in water nanomolecules." OH-radicals denature the proteins of viruses and bacteria, inhibiting their growth. Hydroxyl radicals neutralize allergens in the same way, deodorizing the air in the cabin.
• When the innovative filtration system will appear in Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles has yet to be announced. Now they use the current generation nanoe system, PM2.5 filtration and a pre-conditioning function that is activated before the driver gets into the car.
• Earlier it became known that Jaguar Land Rover will curtail the development of electric vehicles on the promising MLA platform, as a result of which it will lose $ 1.4 billion spent on its creation. The architecture was considered obsolete even before the completion of the project. Thus, the creation of the previously announced serial electric cars is also terminated. It is not only the flagship Jaguar XJ and the large Jaguar J-Pace crossover, but also the first electric SUV, formerly known as the Road Rover.
