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.

    Being from Russia, I’m fine with people using the units they are more confident with or used to.

    (Not specifying units may be a bit confusing, but then people here don’t say\write “it’s 20 degrees Celsius” either.)

      Russian-languaged media is not commonly consumed by someone living under imperial/Fahrenheit system, so it’s only natural.

      For English, it might make sense to at least always add Celsius in parentheses, unless it’s highly regional news.

      Also, привет российским леммиводам :D
