Clever retrofit solutions and smart systems: "Best Air Quality" is a focal point of MANN+HUMMEL at the IAA TRANSPORTATION 2022.

Clever retrofit solutions and smart systems: "Best Air Quality" is a focal point of MANN+HUMMEL at the IAA TRANSPORTATION 2022.

According to WHO estimates, around seven million people worldwide die prematurely because of polluted breathing air. This makes air pollution one of the most significant health risks alongside high blood pressure, diabetes, tobacco consumption and obesity. Improving air quality, especially in urban areas, is therefore one of the major challenges of our time. At the IAA TRANSPORTATION 2022 in Hanover (September 20 to 25), MANN+HUMMEL presents a wide range of solutions (hall 13, booth C33).

"Brakes and tires generate most of the fine dust"
MANN+HUMMEL shows how the ambient air in commercial vehicle traffic can either be cleaned or prevented from fine dust pollution with an innovative, coordinated product range.

Introducing: fully encapsulated brake dust particle filter
At the IAA TRANSPORTATION 2022, MANN+HUMMEL is presenting for the first time a fully
encapsulated brake dust particle filter for the heavy duty & industrial sector, which can be installed independently of the respective type of propulsion and without modifications to existing brake systems

PureAir roof box: powerful fine dust collector
An innovative solution for reducing fine dust in the ambient air is the PureAir roof box. "The world's first stationary solutions originated from our company and can be found, for example, at the Neckartor in Stuttgart, in Munich, and also in cities in India and South Korea," explains Bühl.

Intelligent cabin air filter system: breathing freely in the driver's cab
The intelligent, multi-stage cabin air filter system from MANN+HUMMEL makes sure that there is no "thick air" in the driver's cab: in the event of extremely polluted outside air, a HEPA filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter) is activated by sensor, which reliably removes up to 99.95 percent of all particles from the air, including bacteria, viruses as well as pollen and allergens in addition to fine dust.
