Hyundai repurposed parts of IONIQ 5 EV into an air purifier
Sunday, January 2, 2022 at 3:01AM Hyundai has given a new purpose for one of the IONIQ 5's test vehicles, turning it into an air purifier. The electric vehicle "went through numerous tests to ensure our safety." Hyundai used it for tests of technologies like Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System, pass-by noise regulation, and wind tunnel noise.
In the video you see above, the vehicle is stripped to its bones to turn it into an air purifier. They used parts like the cooling fan, door panels, infotainment system, LED tail lamp, and filter unit. They placed the 20-inch alloy wheel on top, so you can tell the purifier itself is a pretty large one. And of course, there's some Hyundai branding thrown in there, too. Many car parts are already recyclable, but this just shows what else can be done to unusable vehicles.
