Nanofiber media will increase market share in a changing mobility market. It will provide the lowest total cost of ownership based on an efficiency-to-energy consumption ratio, as well as on initial and maintenance costs. There are two major sub-segments of nanofiber media, depending on the thickness of the fibers and the methods by which they are produced.

With the growth in electric vehicle use there will be a big market for nanofiber media in electric vehicles. Meanwhile, the market for filters used with fossil fuels will be negatively impacted. Cabin air will not be impacted by the EV surge, but it will be positively impacted as the recognition of the need for cleaner air for occupants of mobile equipment continues to increase.

Brake Dust Filters: Mann+Hummel has introduced a filter to capture the mechanically generated dust created in braking.

Cabin Air Filters: This is a growing market for nanofiber filters. BMW is promoting a cabin air system based on nanofiber filtration and intermittent operation to minimize energy consumption while ensuring clean air for occupants

Diesel Emission Fluid: Urea filters are required wherever SCR NOx control is mandated. Particles 1 micron and larger need to be removed.

Diesel Fuel: Cummins NanoNet technology incorporates a combination of proven StrataPore layers with nanofiber media layers. The Fleetguard high-horsepower FF5644 fuel filter was compared to the NanoNet upgrade version, the FF5782. The FF5782’s higher level of efficiency translates into longer injector life, reduced down time and repair costs, as well as increased uptime and revenue potential.
