Vaisala Xweather delivers worldwide real-time air quality data to drivers of BMW Group cars - Seite 2

In addition to drivers’ health, air pollution can significantly impact vehicle performance, by clogging cabin filters as well as reducing engine performance, power output, and tire traction. Local pollution can also negatively affect vehicle emissions from exhaust systems. With air quality data accessible through the infotainment system, drivers can make choices that improve their vehicle performance and reduce maintenance needs.

The partnership starts with all the new BMW X1, X2, and 2 Series Active Tourer models, and MINI and MINI Countryman. In the future, the BMW Group is looking to expand the implementation of air quality data to other models in its fleet, as it continues to roll out the new OS9 infotainment system.

Vaisala Xweather air quality forecast combines advanced physical modeling techniques and long-range dispersion models with machine learning, and weather and environmental data to provide the best possible accuracy. The BMW Group has used Vaisala Xweather’s weather data for years, and the company’s high-quality delivery, support, and constant monitoring capabilities meant adding air quality data was a meaningful choice.
