In April, the peach blossoms of the mountain temple began to bloom.
Spring is coming, green willows spit smoke, strange flowers, thriving. Along with the arrival of spring and flowers, there is also a large amount of pollen that appears in the air.
For many people, pollen means floral fragrance. But for people with allergies, especially children, pollen means the start of headache season. Children who suffer from pollen allergy will have symptoms such as rubbing their eyes, digging their nostrils, coughing dry, itching their skin, and even chest tightness and breathing difficulties.
Outdoor air health has always been the focus of people's attention, in recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the number of private car ownership has risen sharply, the air health in the car has gradually been put on the agenda, and the concept of healthy cars has begun to penetrate the hearts of the people.
The excellent interior environment is far from limited to air purification, and healthy cars do not only refer to the air quality in the car. Since 2017, the comprehensive evaluation of China's Automotive Health Index (C-AHI) has been carried out from five aspects: volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the vehicle, odor intensity (VOI) in the vehicle, electromagnetic radiation (EMR), particulate matter (PM) in the vehicle and allergenic risk (VAR) in the vehicle.
In 2021, in the results of the first domestic passenger cabin purification (particulate matter) performance certification and evaluation results announced by the China Automobile Research Institute, SAIC-GM Buick GL8 became the first model in the industry to obtain the "efficient purification (particulate matter)" performance certification. This is the second time that Buick GL8 has been professionally recognized in the field of in-vehicle environmental health after winning the five-star evaluation of "China Automotive Health Index Evaluation".
This is a profound embodiment of Buick GL8 ES Luzun's "people-oriented" concept, and it is also the demonstration of Buick's benchmarking ability to create a healthy cockpit environment for users.
The first passenger cabin purification (particulate matter) performance certification in China is a professional certification system launched by the Environmental Protection and Health Evaluation and Research Center of China Automobile Research Institute and the Kerry Certification, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Automobile Research Institute. The certification test includes two aspects: passive purification and active purification. Among them, passive purification will pass the vehicle particulate matter barrier test, investigate the change of PM2.5 concentration in the car when parking in smog weather, and active purification will pass the particulate matter purification ability test in the car, and investigate the internal circulation and purification device of the vehicle air conditioner when it is polluted by PM2.5, and verify its ability to remove and purify particulate matter.
It is no exaggeration to say that the models that have passed this performance certification are the ceiling of the "five-star" healthy and comfortable cockpit environment. It is not an accident that the Buick GL8 ES Lu Zun can achieve such impressive results in the cockpit environment, but it is inevitable.
SAIC-GM and its design and engineering technology center, Pan Asia Automotive Technology Center, have long established a complete set of in-vehicle air quality control standards and perfect industrial chain control process system from material level, part level to vehicle level, and carried out quality control from materials, processes, manufacturing environment and other aspects in the design, research and development, production and other aspects.
For example, in the selection of leather materials that exist in a large area of the car, Buick GL8 actively cooperates with the world's top leather suppliers to optimize the reagent formula, increase the washing process and baking time, reduce chemical residues, and ensure the pure and fresh smell of the leather material in the car.
Buick GL8 ES Luzun's top lining and seat cover fabrics use ultra-purifying sponges to replace traditional composite sponges, effectively reducing the odor caused by amine catalysts, optimizing the formulation and process of foaming materials applied on seat carpets and other parts, combined with the strict control of rubber substances and other production accessories in the manufacturing process of parts and components and vehicles, to comprehensively improve the air quality in the car.
In terms of hardware materials, Buick GL8 ES Luzun follows the VIAQ control system of SAIC-GM. With advanced equipment, Buick GL8 is equipped with AQS air quality control system, dual-effect nano-scale anti-PM2.5 air conditioning filter, negative ion air purification system and intelligent three-zone automatic air conditioning system.
Here we should mention the AQS air quality control system known as the "all-weather automatic air purification small master".
The AQS automatically switches between internal and external circulation by monitoring the outdoor air with sensors. When the external air floating particles exceed the standard, the system will automatically cut into an internal circulation mode, effectively blocking dust particles from entering the car. When the external air quality becomes better, the system will automatically cut to an external circulation mode to increase the oxygen content in the car.
24/7 sensorless monitoring and automatic switching of the best mode are the daily work mode of AQS and a powerful gripper for the Buick GL8 to ensure a safe and worry-free environment in the car.
In the 24 years since entering China, the status of Buick GL8 as an MPV benchmark has never been shaken, and generations of models are one legend after another. The Buick GL8 has also been upgraded from a business car to a high-quality family car. Behind this, SAIC-GM and Buick's ability to perceive Chinese consumers is great, and the details of continuous adaptation to the local market demands, such as the unremitting pursuit of a healthy environment in the car, are also indispensable.
Buick GL8 ES Luzun is the product that knows the most about Chinese consumers in the market segment, and now the achievements are well-deserved performance.
