Volvo Pollen Filters
It sounds like such an obvious best selling feature that I am surprised no one has done this before (perhaps they have..), but Volvo has introduced pollen filters into all its new cars. “The filters we fit to clean the passenger compartment air also remove the particles that cause allergies. A ride in a car can actually make breathing easier for many sufferers when the problem becomes acute,” says Andreas Andersson, manager of allergy-optimised car interiors at Volvo Cars. The symptoms of hayfever – itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing – are taken very seriously at Volvo as they can have serious impact on the ability of a driver and are particularly difficult for high mileage drivers. The carmaker is working on developing super filters that will prevent even the tiniest particles from entering the cabin.
