They are fighting the "new car odor"

The first, perhaps somewhat exaggerated, challenge is due to the overwhelming reason that it is the world's biggest new car market, such as the hateful odor of the new car in China. They are much more interested in how a car, its smell like engine power or car safety equipment - writes USA Today.

An unpleasant internal smell / smell is the highest level of sales problem in this market, said Brent Gruber, head of automotive analysis company JD Power . "It's almost twice as big as the second most common problem of excessive fuel consumption." For Ford, therefore, a separate team, the "Golden Nose", deals with fragrances and the unit consists of 18 people.

The characteristic new car odor of wagons is given by the ingredients that are in the skin, plastic or rubber seals, and they form a scent effect. These fragrances sometimes intensify, for example, when the car is heavily in the sun and warms up. Ford researchers have also started from this, saying that wagons have to "smell" the smells, which is a natural process and after a while it will disappear from the cars.

Allegedly, their "inventions" are also some kind of process to substantially optimize and sometimes even help to increase the temperature in the car, so that chemical reactions can accelerate and consequently expel this disturbing smell from the car.

It is also interesting that while in China, such scents are so disgusting that Americans prefer the same.
