Osaka, Japan – Panasonic confirms that Jaguar Land Rover*1, a luxury automobile brand will use Panasonic’s nanoe X technology in in-vehicle HVAC systems in the future. Models across the Jaguar range, including the new all-electric Jaguar I-PACE performance SUV, and Land Rover line-up – including the Discovery and Range Rover Evoque – currently offer nanoe™ technology.

nanoe™ is a nano-sized particulate ion produced by applying a high voltage to water in the air and contains hydroxyl radicals (highly reactive components) that easily act on various substances. The production of these hydroxyl radicals has been increased tenfold compared to conventional products, and nanoe™ X is used in home appliances such as air purifiers, air conditioners, washing machines*A, and refrigerators, as well as in automobiles*A, trains*A, and commercial air-conditioning equipment because of its various effects such as deodorization*2 inhibition of bacteria*3 and allergens*4

Not only the automotive sector but Panasonic will continue to pursue the realization of “QUALITY AIR FOR LIFE” in various areas of our lives and society, including, automotive, housing-related fields, and home appliances like selected models of air conditioners, refrigerator, and air purifiers to deliver a healthy lifestyle.
