Vehicles, as well as workplaces, our homes and public environments, can be a source of harmful substances for humans and for all goods and food that are transported.
To ensure the safety of people on board, animals and products transported, disinfection is strongly recommended in order to decontaminate and deodorize all types of vehicles, such as: cars, caravans, campers, medical vehicles or commercial vehicles, as well as public transport.
We at GEA, for this type of disinfection, recommend the use of technology that exploits the properties of Ozone (O3), as, in addition to being recognized by the Italian Ministry of Health, is one of the most effective for these types of environments.

Why disinfecting vehicles
In the air and on the interior surfaces of vehicles, regardless of their use (and therefore whether they are private cars or public transport) there are numerous pollutant particles harmful to humans and the products transported (in the case, for example, of trucks and isothermal vans) including:
- Microbes
- Bacteria
- Virus
- Pathogens and/or polluting agents
- Spores
- Pollen
- Dust
- Fungi
- Molds

vehicles
In the air and on the interior surfaces of vehicles, regardless of their use (and therefore whether they are private cars or public transport) there are numerous pollutant particles harmful to humans and the products transported (in the case, for example, of trucks and isothermal vans) including:
- Microbes
- Bacteria
- Virus
- Pathogens and/or polluting agents
- Spores
- Pollen
- Dust
- Fungi
- Molds
- Insects
They can derive from organic and inorganic substances, which can be found inside the passenger compartment for various reasons: because they are in the outdoor air, carried by passengers on board, or because of their developing in air conditioning systems. Upholstery, fabrics and vehicle interiors absorb these elements and thus become places where all these substances find ideal conditions to proliferate and spread.
This is not just about cleanliness: we are talking about health and safety. All these substances in fact can cause respiratory problems, allergies and diseases of various kinds that infect people and animals using the transports but not only: even food or other products subject to deterioration can be damage.
The advantages of disinfecting means of transport
As can be imagined, the disinfection of vehicles is carried out to decontaminate and disinfect air, surfaces, air conditioning system and, in addition, to eliminate all the bad odours found inside the vehicle.
The elements that make up the vehicles are often difficult to reach by traditional and more frequently used cleaning and disinfection methods when having the vehicle cleaned and washed. For this reason, it is essential to disinfect the vehicles.
Only thanks to this activity, especially ozone disinfection, is it possible:
DESTROY 99% OF ALL HARMFUL SUBSTANCES IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.
ELIMINATE BAD ODOURS AND DO NOT CAMOUFLAGE THEM WITH SPECIFIC DEODORANTS.
REMOVE PESTS SUCH AS BUGS AND MOSQUITOES.
OBTAIN DEEP CLEANING, NOT ACHIEVABLE WITH TRADITIONAL CLEANING ACTIVITIES.
The benefits of this operation are immediately understandable:
- Improvement in the quality of the air inside the passenger compartment, with a consequent decrease in the possibility of contracting viruses or being exposed to substances harmful to our respiratory system. It therefore protects health and ensures greater safety for passengers.
- Increased safety and quality of the products transported: healthy transports ensure proper preservation of perishable goods and avoid their contamination.
- Elimination of bad odours due to molds in the air conditioner, food, smoke, animals and people, exhaust from other vehicles and fuel, air from outside and, finally, odours from the components of the vehicle itself (plastics, fabrics, etc.).
Lastly, ozone enriches the air with oxygen and provides a small number of negative ions, which reduce driving stress and car sickness.
How we disinfect your vehicle
Ozone is usually used for the disinfection of vehicles. The properties of ozone make it an excellent element to disinfect and decontaminate even the air and surfaces of these environments.
The strong oxidizing and antibacterial power of ozone makes this substance more used in disinfection thanks to its bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal and deodorizing action.
Moreover, its gaseous nature makes it more suitable for this activity, as it can reach and penetrate all surfaces that cannot be reached with other products.
The disinfection of vehicles concerns:
THE COCKPIT
THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
COLD STORAGE ROOMS OR LOAD COMPARTMENTS FOR THE TRANSPORT OF GOODS (IF ANY)
We at GEA evaluate the vehicle to submit to the ozonisation treatment and, in relation to its dimensions and therefore to the contained volumes of air, we use different programmable ozone machines (ozone generators or ozonizers) in order to obtain a complete disinfection of the cockpit and all its components.
Our environmental technicians in biosecurity connect the ozone generators to the electrical system of the vehicle and insert it inside the passenger compartment.
Then all they have to do is get out of the passenger compartment and operate the generator which, depending on the size of the vehicle, will take a maximum of one hour to disinfect and decontaminate the air and interior surfaces, including fabrics such as upholstery, seats and carpets.
Ozone performs its functions without the use of chemicals and does not damage any material.
Which vehicles can be disinfected
As we have previously said, the disinfection is suitable for any type of vehicle.
It is strongly recommended on all public transports, such as for example:
- Cabs
- Coaches
- Minibuses
- Buses
- Trains
- Subways
But also, on all cars used for car sharing.
The disinfection treatment guarantees hygiene and sterilization on transports in which there is a high risk of contracting infectious diseases, for example:
- Ambulances
- Medical vehicles
- Hearses
- Armoured trucks / cars
And on all commercial vehicles used to transport food or perishable goods, such as:
- Lorry
- Trucks
- Vans
- Isothermal vans
Finally, do not forget that in order to have greater safety, private vehicles should also be disinfected. Among these:
- Cars
- Caravan
- Motorhome
- Camper
