Bosch has launched a new cabin filter range which will help drivers crippled by allergies brought on by the season change. The filter not only provides driver and passenger comfort, but also has an important safety role as a sneezing driver is a blind driver, something that can seriously increase the danger of an accident.

Reducing lung irritation and many of the symptoms associated with allergies, the new FILTER+ is a special cabin filter separating dust and allergen particles, and even bacteria.

Bosch says drivers can breathe easy with three active layers of filtration working for them. An activated-carbon layer even keeps air smelling fresh. The ultra-fine microfiber layer retains up to 99 percent of all fine dust while a molecular grid structure catches allergens such as pollen, and silver ions within the anti-allergic layer kill harmful bacteria.

By reducing and preventing allergic reactions such as sneezing attacks, the new FILTER+ helps minimise driver distraction. Drivers can focus on the road and breathe freely without irritants blurring their vision or tickling their lungs.

Bosch offers a complete range of cabin filters, including standard and activated-carbon filters through to the particularly powerful FILTER+. The FILTER+ range is available for most common car makes and models.
