Nissan Motor Co. said it has developed a new type of paint that significantly reduces the temperature inside vehicles parked in direct sunlight.
The surface of a car coated with the innovative material remains up to 12 degrees cooler than that of a vehicle with standard paint, tests showed.
The company said the coating material can help rein in the temperature rise not only on the car’s body but also in the vehicle when exposed to direct sunlight.
Box fans and Popsicles, mostly. You get used to it. Doesn’t make it any more pleasant though. I did give myself some pretty bad heat exhaustion at one point earlier this year, that hasn’t happened before.
