The Prius' solar-powered ventilation system is reevaluated to help third-world countries
(prHWY.com) July 13, 2011 - Orlando, FL -- Winter Park used Toyota shoppers choose the Japanese automaker for reliability, affordability, and paramount customer service. As impressive as the car company has performed in the past, it has to ensure victory against the competition - which is why Toyota launched an "Ideas for Good" campaign to invite customers to come up with new ways to utilize the brand's existing technology.
The winners were chosen through an extensive evaluation process, and Toyota was more than happy to embrace these ideas as well. One idea that sales team members at Orlando Toyota dealers like Central Florida Toyota are especially interested in involves repurposing the Prius' solar-powered ventilation system and using it as an air purifier in third-world homes.
This concept intends to eliminate the health issues caused by cooking over indoor fires. The aforementioned ventilation system was originally designed by Toyota to keep the air inside the car at the same temperature as the air outside. The newly-discovered purpose of this technology can also be used to suck up the detrimental smoke and remove it from homes that use indoor fires. Winter Park used Toyota shoppers are encouraged to test drive the Prius to see the ventilation system in action.
Tim Witmer was the clever participant to submit the winning idea: "This application would be environmentally friendly, would improve the health of individuals who can't afford good health care, and move families toward a lifestyle where energy could be collected from sustainable sources." Sales team members at Toyota dealers like Central Florida Toyota are proud of Witmer and of course Toyota for finding a new and interesting way to help others.
Interested consumers can learn more about the other winning "Ideas for Good" by visiting the Toyota website or consulting a sales representative at their favorite Toyota dealership.
