In-vehicle air quality data is 5 to 10 times better than Volvo's leading national standard

According to reports, the Guidelines for the Evaluation of Air Quality in Passenger Cars, jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, have been implemented nationwide since March 1. This guideline describes the use of benzene in the air of passenger vehicles. Concentrations of eight kinds of pollutants such as toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, styrene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein have been clearly defined.

According to the "Guideline" standards and testing data of authoritative testing organizations at home and abroad, Volvo Cars air quality assurance leads other brand models significantly. Take the Volvo XC90 as an example, the air quality in the car is higher than that of the newly introduced PM in China. 2.5 The standard specified in the guideline is 5-10 times higher.



Since its inception, Volvo has put safety and environmental protection as its mission and brand DNA, and has proposed a great vision of “zero emissions” and “zero casualties”. Volvo’s efforts in environmental protection and surrounding air quality in cars mainly focus on four aspects:

First, Volvo Cars has a dedicated department of interior air management under the R&D department to formulate and implement related strategies and coordinate with other R&D departments (interior, etc.), vehicle design department, purchasing department, and production department. Produces cars that exceed European standards and comply with Volvo indoor air quality standards;

Second, fillers used in Volvo car seats are all extracted from soy fiber and are fully compliant with the Joint Children's Fiber Association standards.

Third, the filters used in Volvo vents are purchased according to the highest quality standards in the industry, and tested at -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius and in different humidity environments. They can filter out dust of 95% PM 1.0-5.0. And particles; filter out 100% PM5.0-10 dust and granules, an average of 20-100 times more than Beijing outside the car air quality. The filter has a service life of 3 years or 30,000 kilometers, which is the longest in the industry. It can be replaced and recycled, and no bacteria or viruses will be produced during use.

Fourthly, the vehicles that will be developed in the future will use the blue and red luminous modes in the vents to show the air quality level in the car. If the pollution is serious, the air purification system will be automatically activated and the air quality in the car will change. Volvo’s goal is to provide Volvo owners with Nordic air that is as pure and clean as the Arctic, and experience Scandinavian life in Volvo cars. The middle screen (human-machine dialogue interface) will show detailed analysis, diagnosis and feedback for high-end customers, including external air data, daily reports and forecasts. In the offshore mode, the car can also start the car's air purification mode in advance through the IPhone.

From this we can see that Volvo not only satisfies the technical standards, but also creates a car with technology and environmental protection as the core for Volvo owners and truly serves the owner's “health and driving pleasure”.
