All Geely cars to come with Intelligent Air Purification System (IAPS) from March, same level as N95 mask

After announcing earlier this month that it has earmarked 370 million RMB (RM218 million) to further the development of “healthy, intelligent vehicles” Geely is now saying that all of its future vehicles will be equipped with the G-Clean Intelligent Air Purification System (IAPS), a new system that is able to automatically filter out harmful particulates.

Geely says that its IAPS system was developed in just 20 days, spurred by the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak that’s gripping China. Geely’s engineers worked non-stop with suppliers to bring the concept from the drawing board to future production vehicles in record time, the carmaker said, adding that IAPS will be available in production cars from March 2020.

At the core of the IAPS system is a new active carbon chemical filter that can effectively absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde as it enters the vehicle. It’s also able to filter out bad odour and harmful pollutants once they are detected by the system automatically.

IAPS also comes with a negative ion generator that’s able to sterilise and deodorise the in-car air. This works towards the removal of airborne viruses, bacteria, fungi and mould. Geely says that this is the same level of air filtration as an N95 respiration system.

Geely has already introduced the new IAPS system into 150 Geely Jiaji MPVs that have been given to frontline workers battling the Covid-19 coronavirus across China.

Under the Geely Healthy Car programme, the carmaker has pledged to invest 370 million RMB (RM218 million) to the development of healthier vehicles. There are three phases – in the first phase, Geely will introduce short term solutions such as the IAPS system. In phases two and three, Geely will be partnering with leading medical agencies and material companies to develop clean materials for interior and exterior parts such as buttons and grab handles, parts that can harbour harmful bacteria and virus.

      If you want to live longer, buy a Proton car.
      If you want to die faster, buy Perodua or Toyota.

    Proton should expedite the introduction of Jiaji MPV in Malaysia. These obsession on rolling out ‘SUV’ one after another seems a little too much. X70 CBU, X70CKD then X50 CKD. Three ‘SUV’ in a row.. as far as introducing new Proton model, too much focus on just 1 body style.

      They are a business, not charity.

      If you think you know better, then do something just as if not more impressive than them.

      As i see, you are naive to think they don’t know better what the market wants. An acute businessman, you are not.

    Meanwhile Perodua bangga la they redesigned Bezza bumper to cover tonggek in like within 6 months.

    Geely donated RMB 200 mil to help COV-19 victims, and did way more such as this move. Yet some people expect we should all hate Geely because they don’t have religion.

    Sure.
