Toronto, Ontario — Volkswagen Canada, in collaboration with the TYPE1/TAXI team, has unveiled an innovative car cover designed to tackle air pollution.
Specifically designed for the all-electric ID.4, the car cover functions by absorbing pollutants from the surrounding environment. These pollutants are then broken down into inert organic compounds, such as water and other basic elements.
Activated by sunlight, the covers are a result of a partnership with Nano-technology company FN Nano. While currently tailored for the ID.4 all-electric SUV, Volkswagen has expressed potential plans to expand the cover line in the future.
Lynne Piette, head of marketing at Volkswagen Canada, explains, “Owners of the ID.4 love their all-electric SUV. And as EV owners, they’re also passionate about the planet. So we wanted to create an accessory that would help protect both.”
