By Jim Gibbins - 1st June 2021
Germany – Daimler Buses of Stuttgart and Ulm says it has fitted active filtration systems to more than 5,000 Mercedes-Benz and Setra buses operating in Stuttgart. In response to the covid pandemic, the installation of active filters is claimed to offer the highest level of safety and operate in conjunction with the established air conditioning systems.
The multi-layer, progressively constructed, high-performance filters include an anti-viral functional layer said to filter out up to 99% of aerosols in the interior. A clearly visible sticker in the boarding area identifies vehicles with this equipment installed – and in which the air can be completely renewed in one to four minutes.
