The new CareMetix brand from Mahle uses S5 broadband technology to filter out pollutants.
Garages can offer customers a difference as the range provides five-layer protection against allergens, brake dust, diesel soot, fine particulates and tyre debris.
Their technology preserves the sensitive components in the HVAC system from premature wear and helps prevent mildew and mould spores that linger in the air from entering the cabin.
This ensures the air conditioning system is kept clean and mould build up is prevented.
The filters within the CareMetix range also feature an anti-bacterial coating preventing dangerous micro-organisms from spreading throughout the filter material.
Nearly all allergens are filtered out, reducing the risk of watery eyes, irritated skin and uncomfortable headaches.
The CareMetix range provides 72 per cent coverage of the total European car parc with this figure expected to increase, with more than 85 items expected to be available by early 2017.
Jonathan Walker, Mahle Aftermarket UK managing director, said: “CareMetix is a world first and we’re delighted to bring the range to the automotive aftermarket.
“Customers can benefit from our excellent point of sale material, including a quick-set display for the shop floor; branded merchandise; a distinct microsite; and advertisements in Mahle’s aftermarket blog.”
Mahle recommends changing a filter every 15,000 km or once a year to maximise protection.
The CareMetix range will be available for demonstration at Automechanika Birmingham at the NEC on stand 19D50 from 6 – 8 June.
