MG Motor India ties up with Medklinn for vehicle cabin sterilisation
MG Motor India on Thursday said it has partnered with Singapore-based Medklinn to explore natural sterilisation of cabin air and surfaces in its cars.

Medklinn CEO Peter Tham said an overwhelming percentage of pollutants often gravitates to various surfaces within the car's cabin and the company's patented Cerafusion technology comes as the most uniquely equipped decontamination solution to address and resolve this issue.
"We are delighted to partner with MG...and are confident that our solution will give customers the peace of mind by ensuring that they are safe and protected in their MGs," he added.
The Cerafusion technology enables complete disinfection and sterilisation of a car's cabin by leveraging on active oxygen to sterilise allergens, pollutants, and microbial organisms – naturally and without any chemicals thus ensuring health and well-being of passengers.
Not only does the solution eliminates bacteria, mould, yeast, and viruses from the air within the cabin, but it also sterilises its various surfaces, the statement added.
MG Motor India said it has taken several initiatives to combat the impact of the Covid-19 on its customers. It had recently launched a 'disinfect and deliver' initiative to ensure car deliveries and test drives at customers' homes under a completely sanitised process. The staff at its dealerships have also been trained to take all the necessary steps to ensure that the service workshops and showrooms are completely sanitised.
