Marbella's city buses, with purified air and enhanced health safety

The six urban transport buses that cover the route between Marbella and the Costa del Sol University Hospital will soon be equipped with a system that will purify the air inside the vehicle to improve health safety for users. The approximately half a million passengers who use this service each year will be the first to test a technology that will also be extended to school and university bus services. The purification system is based on an advanced photocatalytic technique patented in northern Italy, which, according to the City Council, reduces pathogens and air pollutants by 73 percent. "We offer a ten-year operational guarantee, making it a sustainable and long-term investment to create healthier spaces. It works with daylight or artificial light that activates a process that can remove pollution by nearly one hundred percent and also eliminates odors, which is an additional benefit," explains Pascuale Di Gregorio, from the company Wiwel, which markets the system.
