Volvo Cars has provided owners with Advanced Air Cleaner (AAC) technology that cleans out fine particulate matter from the cabin, as well as notifies the driver of the PM 2.5 levels in the car. With the integration of BreezoMeter's air quality data, drivers of Volvo cars can also monitor the air quality outside the car.
BreezoMeter will now offer car passengers another layer of protection from outdoor pollution through real-time updates about possible exposure to hazardous air quality. The company delivers micro-local environmental intelligence (within five meters of the driver) through the vehicle's HMI (human-machine interface).
Passengers can then use these updates to find alternative routes and make other informed decisions to decrease their exposure to toxic air, such as when to open and close windows.
