For most vehicles, the «smell of the new carWhich many adore, refers to one mixture of plastic and leather fabrics. For Nissan cars it even exists whole group of expertswho perfect this perfect scent of the new car.
In particular, the conditions for the materials that will be used inside the car, are complex. Tori Keerl is a materials science engineer at Nissan and analyzes the smell of all the components and fabrics that make up the interior of cars.
«Every time we bring a vehicle to market, we have to control its smell“, She explains.
In the process of developing a new model, Keerl and her team smell every single part of the car before joining inside to ensure that the smell is pleasant, or at least mild.
«Then we put them in the car. We sit inside and make sure that as long as we sit in the driver’s seat and in the back seat, we have this good smell of the new car“, She emphasizes.
In fact, he explains, that the odors emitted in the front seat may be completely different from those on the back. This arises from the different materials that exist in front of it driver and front passengerwhich are located near the dashboard, as opposed to the rear passengers, who are surrounded by fabrics.
Although the process for synthesizing materials is exhaustive, surprises with unpleasant odors may occur. In this case, the Keerl team is investigating, literally smelling again any material in the car to locate the “culprit”.
It often happens that the manufacturer of a particular component has changed the way it is produced. So Keerl gets in touch with the manufacturer to look for a solution.
It is noteworthy that experts often have to pass odor test in the blind, in order to regain the accreditation of the specialist. In order to ensure that their sense of smell has not changed, something that happens over time, they have to re-examine their capabilities, smelling different materials, which they are asked to identify on the spot.
Since different cultures also have different tastes in the smell of their car, Keerl’s work focuses on cars intended specifically for North American customers. Buyers in Europe or Asia may prefer something different or not like the smell of their car.
