JAGUAR LAND ROVER’S FUTURE AIR PURIFICATION TECHNOLOGY PROVEN TO INHIBIT
JAGUAR LAND ROVER’S FUTURE AIR PURIFICATION TECHNOLOGY PROVEN TO INHIBIT VIRUSES AND BACTERIA BY UP TO 97 PER CENT
- Technology that will be used in future Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles has also been tested against novel corona virus (SARS-CoV-2*)
Chennai , 18th March 2021: Jaguar Land Rover’s future cabin air purification technology has been shown in la boratory tests to inhibit viruses and airborne bacteria by as much as 97 per cent.
The prototype heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)system usesPanasonic’s nanoe™ X technology to inhibit harmful bacteria and viruses, and will help thecabins of future Jaguar and Land Rover models to deliver a unique customer experience. The research comes as Jaguar Land Roverdefines its future strategy: a sustaina bility-rich reimagination of modern luxury, unique customer experiences, and positive societal impact.
Jaguar Land Roverpartnered with Perfectus Biomed Ltd, a leading microbiology and virology lab, to perform the world-leading labor atory-based sealed-chamber test designed to simulate a vehicle ventilation system in recirculation modeover a 30-minute cycle. The independent research showed that viruses and bacteria were inhibited by as much as 97 per cent.
Panasonic’s innovative nanoe™ X technology has also been tested on novel coronavirus(SARS-CoV-2) by Texcell, a global research organisation that specialises in viral testing and immunoprofiling, and is one of the laboratories in the world with permission to test against novel coronavirus. It found more than 99.995 per cent of the virus was inhibited during the two-hour laboratory test.
