Cleaning the air we breathe

During a Global Pandemic, viruses in the air are the main threat. Creating a safe breathing environment within a vehicle is a prime concern at ColdFront. ColdFront is committed to providing trucking solutions all across western Canada. We are proud to be a Webasto dealer and carry the Air Cleaner HEPA HFT 300 unit at all of our locations.

 Clean Air for Ambulances, Buses, and Mass Transit

Emergency personnel and drivers of taxis, shuttles and mass transit can be exposed to elevated risks in the air. These services are essential and must continue to operate during times of crisis. Fortunately, there are ways that we can mitigate the risks for essential workers who drive these vehicles and the passengers their vehicles transport.

 What are HEPA Filters?

 HEPA, which stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air, is a designation used to describe filters that can trap 99.97 percent of particles that are 0.3 microns. Though the HEPA standard and certification process was not established until 1983, development of HEPA filters dates back to World War II, when American scientists with the Manhattan Project created the first HEPA filter to capture radioactive particles released during the creation of the atomic bomb.

Most modern HEPA filters consist of interlaced glass fibers that are twisted and turned in myriad directions to create a fibrous maze. As particles traverse this web, they're taken out of circulation.
