Over the years, Panasonic has been working to develop its unique, patented nanoe X technology, which will be deployed in British luxury automobile manufacturer, Jaguar Land Rover's new RANGE ROVER.
Panasonic's nanoe X technology, which has been fine-tuned since 2003 is well known for keeping users healthy and rejuvenated by inhibiting bacteria and viruses and reducing odours.
This technology works by releasing huge volumes of hydroxyl radicals contained in water that fight bacteria and allergens and deodorizes the surrounding space.
Being contained in water, these hydroxyl radicals live much longer and spread much farther than conventional hydroxyl radicals, having a greater impact in inhibiting harmful substances and reducing odour intensity.
The applications for this technology are broad in scope and has been used in a wide range of products from air conditioners to automobiles.
This collaboration between Panasonic and Jaguar Land Rover sees nanoe X being deployed in new RANGE ROVER's in-vehicle HVAC systems. It is integrated into air conditioning systems and is used to generate hydroxyl radicals to help purify the in-cabin air quality by suppressing odors, allergens, bacteria and viruses. Furthermore, the new all-electric Jaguar I-PACE performance SUV, and Land Rover line-up - including the DEFENDER, feature Panasonic's nanoe technology to boost in-cabin air quality.
Panasonic has thus far received positive feedback from Jaguar Land Rover tests on the efficacy of nanoe X to viruses and bacteria through rigorous in-vehicle testing in the new RANGE ROVER. Jaguar Land Rover confirmed that deploying a combination of filtration and nanoe X technology achieved the best results as compared to other alternatives. Panasonic's nanoe X is a tried and tested technology, having already made a name for itself in the consumer care industry in Japan, and is a technology that can become key to a wide range of in-vehicle systems in the context of ionization, air circulation and filtration. For these reasons Jaguar Land Rover was compelled to consider implementing this technology in future vehicles and carrying out further vehicle efficacy testing programs at pace.
