Smart filtration and monitoring for superior air quality in the car and trucks
The outside air is packed with harmful gases, bacteria, viruses, allergens, and fine dust. But it's a little known fact that indoor air can often be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. This includes the confined space of our vehicles where we often spend much of our time. If pollutant levels rise in here, it can lead to distractions in road traffic and potentially even to serious health issues. That's why it's so important to have reliable filtration and digital air quality monitoring systems in our vehicles. These systems help maintain a high level of air quality in cars, trucks, and other vehicles, thereby keeping us safer and healthier.

This is where we step in, with our cutting-edge combination of top-tier cabin air filter systems and smart digital services. MANN+HUMMEL provides both manufacturers and end users with robust filtration protection against air contaminants and transparent air quality management within the vehicle. Even better, these solutions can be individually customized to cater to the unique well-being and requirements for clean air, whether in a small car, a heavy-duty-truck, or any other vehicle.
Smart air quality control and cabin air filter systems by MANN+HUMMEL
Having clean air in your car or commercial vehicle not only minimizes the risk of accidents but also protects the health of drivers and passengers. With smart cabin air filter systems, which fuse HEPA technology with biofunctional or anti-allergen filters, common issues linked to poor air quality such as headaches, allergies, asthmatic symptoms, fatigue, or unpleasant odors can be tackled effectively before they become a problem.
Moreover, the Air Quality Index (AQI) can be easily managed and monitored through either the car's dashboard or the manufacturer's app, providing detailed reports on in-car air quality with numerous personalization options. While users were previously only able to adjust the temperature and fan speed, they now have a whole array of tools to enhance air quality right at their fingertips. One such feature is the Air Quality Boost function, which instantly and easily ensures a cleaner air environment within the vehicle.
Our state-of-the-art digital air pollution measurement and control system eliminates the need for physical sensors. By leveraging virtual air quality sensors, we not only save on costs and space but also facilitate user-friendly updates and advancements of the sensors. We harness existing data from the vehicle and its surroundings to accurately and effectively calculate air quality parameters. Our groundbreaking solutions have reshaped predicitive maintenance through real-time AQI monitoring and automatic filter status updates. This is made possible by synergizing outdoor and indoor air pollution data with specific vehicle and traffic data. Moreover, our communication with workshops and service partners has also been streamlined and digitized, reducing interactions to a single click. This ensures a seamless, efficient, and prompt service, underscoring our ongoing commitment to providing an unrivaled user experience.

Advanced filtration solutions to reduce air pollution, thanks to teamwork
For sustainable prevention and monitoring of air pollution in vehicle interiors, we have built on combined expertise. The development of our advanced filtration concept was a collaborative effort involving numerous MANN+HUMMEL teams: the Digital Hubs, Advanced Development department, Sales and Research and Development team leading on cabin air filters and filtration systems. They are all united by one common goal: to redefine the air quality experience in all types of vehicles, from cars to trucks and beyond.
Our primary objective was to ensure optimal air quality and provide an unparalleled customer experience for the end user, making air quality not just a necessity but a tangible, enhanced experience. Through comprehensive discussions with our long-standing customers, we charted our path: transitioning from a hardware-centric approach to a more bespoke, holistic data service utilizing the full potential of virtual sensors.
This shift empowers vehicle manufacturers to provide their customers with excellent air quality and innovative predictive maintenance services as additional features in vehicles. By combining our more than 80 years of filtration knowledge with the opportunities presented by digitalization, we’ve successfully taken the air quality experience in cars, trucks, and other vehicles to the next level.
