| Spring is in the air. Unfortunately this means so too are the pollens. Bosch cabin filters can prevent these pollens and other harmful pollutants from entering the vehicle interior through its heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC).
Research has shown that unfiltered pollutants entering the inside of a vehicle can be up to ten times more concentrated than in the air outside. These pollutants can trigger asthma and allergy and, with more than 2.2 million Australians diagnosed with asthma and more than double that number suffering from allergies, breathing filtered air in the car is essential.
But pollens are not the only impurities to come into our cars; dust, dirt, smoke and exhaust fumes all enter through a car’s HVAC system and can be dangerous for drivers. Driving in suburban areas in heavy traffic, on freeways and in tunnels, where air pollution is at its worst, can cause drivers to experience headaches, fatigue and a lack of concentration. Country driving can also be hazardous, especially in the current climate, with air quality adversely affected by frequent drought related dust storms and, in the summer months, by bushfires.
However, many motorists are still not aware of the existence of cabin filters in their vehicles. This fact gives workshops the opportunity to increase business and profits by pulling customers back into their workshops for annual cabin filter changes. This will not only benefit your business, but also your customers as it’s also a chance to educate them on the harmful effects of a dirty or clogged cabin filter, which can not only cause breathing difficulties, but also restrict airflow to the HVAC system. This will affect the efficiency of the system, leaving deposits and contaminants which not only leave air conditioning systems dirty, but can lead to corrosion of the evaporator core.

Car manufacturers in Europe began installing cabin filters in passenger vehicles in the late 1980’s and today, more than 90% of all European vehicles are equipped with cabin filters. Australian manufacturers are now following these trends, with cabin filters fitted in most new cars, including models such as the Ford Falcon FG, BA and BF models, the Holden VE Commodore, Toyota Corollas from 2000 onwards and all Japanese and European passenger vehicles.
As a system supplier in the engine management field, Bosch is aware of the importance of filters. Bosch Cabin filters are made of special micro-fibre paper which absorbs up to 99% of all pollen, dust particles and other harmful substances, resulting in a remarkable improvement of the air quality inside the vehicle. As an additional benefit, they also assist in keeping your HVAC system, instrument panel and windscreen clean, by significantly reducing dirt and dust deposits.
All Bosch filters meet or exceed vehicle manufacturers’ specifications. So benefit your customers while benefitting your business: fit Bosch cabin filters.
