Cabin air filters, a fast-growing market
The importance of the product
The main purpose of the cabin air filter is to protect against pollution (dust, soot, combustion gases, bacteria, pollen) that we breathe inside our vehicles daily without realising it.
Poor air quality inside the vehicle causes:
- allergies, throat irritation, sneezing;
- tiredness after long periods of driving;
- poor visibility due to condensation that builds up on the windscreen and side windows.
To ensure the health and general well-being of the driver and passengers on board your vehicle, UFI Filters advises replacing the cabin filter at the recommended intervals.
