South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) unveiled its newly developed ‘Plasma Care UVC’ system, which the company claims is the world’s first in-vehicle sanitization technology that uses a plasma lamp to sanitize vehicle interiors and reduce odors, even when occupants are onboard.
The company said that it has carried out comprehensive testing to verify that the system effectively targets bacteria and microorganisms, as well as removing odor-causing substances, creating a more pleasant cabin environment.
HMG said it worked to ensure the system’s reliability under high vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and demanding driving conditions, and applied a specialized optical filter to provide an additional layer of protection.
