During Korea's scorching summer, police officers braving long shifts in buses may soon find respite thanks to a nearly see-through window coating. Hyundai Motor Group announced Wednesday that they have installed their Nano Cooling Film onto two Universe buses utilized by the 1st Mobile Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
These buses double as mobile offices and accommodations for officers who tackle demonstrations and other public safety tasks, making the extreme heat inside the vehicles a constant issue during the warmer months. Traditional dark window tinting is not an option for police buses due to operational and regulatory constraints, leaving officers vulnerable to high temperatures while performing their duties.
The Nano Cooling Film, a three-layered material, cleverly reflects solar heat while simultaneously radiating infrared heat from within the vehicle back outside.
