The European Truck parc represents more than 6,000,000 vehicles and increasing by over 1% each year. With only 30 truck models representing 80% of the parc, the truck parc is not diverse. Air conditioning is now fitted as standard on modern trucks. As drivers are spending a major part of their time, day and night inside the truck cabin, Air Conditioning needs to be serviced more frequently than in passenger cars.

Air pollution and health care
At home, outside or inside your truck, the air you breathe contributes to your comfort and well-being.



Atmospheric pollution
The quality of the air we breathe is affected by many things, and depends on various parameters present:

- Airborne particles
Airborne pollutants can be either solid or liquid. Common examples of airborne substances are pollen, dust, diesel particles,…

- Gaseous substances
Gaseous pollutants include ozone, carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic components (toluene, benzene …).


Pollution and health
Air pollution is not just a source of discomfort. It impacts the health of many, especially the most vulnerable: children, elderly people, asthmatics,… Independent experts have confirmed links between air pollution and health care infections:

- Around 3 million people die every year as a result of air pollution (1)

- Between 30% to 40 % of asthma cases could be linked to air pollution (1)

- There is a correlation between atmospheric pollution and hospitalisation for cardiovascular reasons.

Air pollution is also known as a source of headaches, nausea and allergic reactions. For drivers the results are reduced driving concentration and increased stress levels.
