Filters


Have you ever stopped to think about your life without filters? If you complain about the actual pollution, probably we would be living in a world dozens of times worse compared to the darkest scenario of sci-fi movies with grey cities, sick people and the worst would be the water would be sold like gold. It is very scary.

There are more than 20 renowned filter companies in the country, involving air filters, oil, fuel, air-condition , micro-filters, and others, for automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, tractors, utilities, bus, etc.  

However, there is good news: filters are here to stay. They are part of our life in many situations of our day by day. Do you have a car? Do you know that in a car there are more than 20 filters like air filters, oil, fuel and others? Cars as we know that use the Otto engine always will need filters, especially with environmental policies increasing, like a vehicular inspection and control of emission pollutants.

Electric cars are still very expensive and don´t have big autonomy, motiving to develop hybrids cars with Otto and Electric engine. Thus the future of filter companies is guaranteed for many years.
