Honda introduces antivirus car cabin air filters

Honda Cars India has introduced a multi-layer cabin filter, which will offer a safer in-car experience by protecting the occupants from viruses, bad bacterias, and allergies. 

Honda India has introduced antivirus cabin air filters for its cars. Honda has developed the new multi-layer filters together with Freudenberg Group. The new cabin filter is made up of four layers, which comprises active allergens and antiviruses, activated carbon, base layer, and an electrically charged filtration layer.

The first layer is coated with an active substance of leaf extract, which prevents allergens and bacteria from entering the cabin. The activated carbon helps subdue particulate matter and other harmful gasses. The dust and pollen are filtered out by the base layer.

Currently, Honda India retails the Amaze, fourth-gen City, fifth-gen City, Jazz, and WR-V. The new antivirus cabin filters are available for all the aforementioned cars as an OEM accessory.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr Rajesh Goel, Senior Vice President and 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 the driver and co-occupants of the car. We expect the demand for such protective solutions to increase rapidly in future.’
