The American division of Nissan announced a new “cold paint” technology, which helps to reduce the temperature in the interior of cars on hot days. The development was created in collaboration with the Chinese company Radi-Cool.
The technology is able to reflect sunlight and can reduce the load on air conditioners, which is especially important for electric cars. Such a technique is already used in construction and aviation, but Nissan plans to adapt it for mass production, despite some challenges such as coating thickness and application method.
The paint is currently being tested on cars at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. Studies have shown that cars coated with this paint heat up 12°C less than those painted with conventional paint. And the difference in interior temperature is 5°C.
The manager of Nissan's research center said that the company's goal is to create cooler cars without significant energy consumption. And “cooling paint” has great potential, especially for commercial vehicles.
