Dia Chemical Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Takefumi Watanabe) launched the "To The Night Series" car air freshener in March 2026, co-developed with the Faculty of Business Administration, Department of Business Administration at Kindai University (Masaaki Fuse Seminar, Shinji Semba Seminar).
This product was developed as the second phase of the industry-academia collaboration project with the university. It is a series of deodorizing air fresheners designed with the concept of "night drive" incorporating the perspective of Generation Z, producing a calm and comfortable scent.
This project was realized through an introduction by Senshu Ikeda Bank.
Focusing on "Night"
In modern lifestyles, cars are not just a means of transportation, but also play a role as a "personal space" or a "place to switch one's mind."
Night driving, in particular, is a special time to get away from the hustle and bustle of the day and experience tranquility and the extraordinary.
With the spread of SNS and video distribution services, "night view driving," "night pools," and "night cruises" are attracting attention as popular leisure scenes, and there is a growing need for products that align with the atmosphere and mood of the night. We believe that scents inspired by the night can provide new value as an element to enhance relaxing time after work or special moments with loved ones.
