With the evolution of intelligent and electrified mobility, in-cabin air quality has emerged as a critical dimension of vehicle comfort, occupant health, and overall user experience. As modern vehicles increasingly serve as extended living spaces—whether for commuting, traveling, or remote working—automotive manufacturers are prioritizing advanced air quality monitoring technologies.
To addresses the growing demand, Cubic, as an automotive Tier 1 supplier, leveraged its mature R&D and manufacturing experience on gas sensors and gas analyzers, to launch new high-performance automotive gas sensor solutions, Cubic AIS-8100 integrated air quality sensor and Cubic AQM-1020 air quality module.
Dual-Parameter Precision for Real-Time Air Quality Monitoring
Cubic AIS-8100 is a fully integrated air quality sensor designed specifically for automotive applications. It combines a PM2.5 sensor based on laser scattering technology and a CO2 sensor employing advanced Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) principles. The dual-sensing configuration enables AIS-8100 to provide accurate, real-time measurements of particulate matter and carbon dioxide concentrations, which are two key factor that impact in-cabin air quality.
AIS-8100 supports vehicle-grade CAN communication and is engineered for high stability and durability under complex road and environmental conditions. Key sensing components are independently developed by Cubic to ensure product quality and lifecycle longevity. Additionally, the sensor incorporates an automatic calibration mechanism for CO2, reducing maintenance needs and ensuring consistent measurement accuracy over time. By integrating AIS-8100 with the vehicle HVAC system, automakers can enable intelligent ventilation and purification responses based on real-time air quality data.
VOC Classification for Intelligent HVAC Intake Control
Complementing the AIS-8100, Cubic AQM-1020 Air Quality Module addresses another essential air quality dimension—volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Based on MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) metal oxide semiconductor gas sensing technology, AQM-1020 is designed to detect both oxidizing and reducing gases in the vehicle’s ambient environment. It classifies external air quality into defined levels and transmits the data via LIN interface, enabling precise control of HVAC air intake modes.
The AQM-1020 offers fast response time, high selectivity, and strong resistance to environmental interference. Its robust design, automotive-grade circuitry, and long service life make it ideally suited for integration into mass-production vehicle platforms. When implemented alongside AIS-8100, it provides a more holistic air quality management solution—enabling vehicles to automatically switch between fresh air and recirculation modes, and to maintain optimal comfort and air hygiene for all occupants.
Why Cubic Automotive Cabin Air Quality Gas Sensor Solutions?
Cubic AIS-8100 and AQM-1020 deliver a comprehensive, sensor-based strategy for in-cabin air quality assessment and control. Both sensors are designed in accordance with AEC-Q100 automotive electronics requirements and comply with EMC requirements across a wide range of vehicle models. In addition, Cubic possesses strong software development capabilities aligned with ASPICE standards, ensuring high reliability and quality throughout the development lifecycle, to empower automotive manufacturers to develop more intelligent, responsive, and health-conscious HVAC systems.
At the same time, Cubic has already earned IATF 16949 Certificate, with automotive-grade quality management system and extensive experience in automated batch manufacturing, making Cubic automotive in-cabin air quality sensors credible to be widely deployed in various automotive air-conditioning systems in automotive industry.
As the trends for wellness-centric mobility rise, the integration of reliable and accurate air quality sensing solutions could become a competitive advantage for automakers. Cubic are committed to supporting OEMs and system integrators with scalable, customizable sensor solutions that meet the evolving demands of the automotive industry—ensuring cleaner, safer, and more comfortable in-vehicle environments.
