As the world market leader for roof systems and parking heaters, #webasto has been creating feel good climate in vehicles for decades, regardless of the drive type.
At this year’s IAA (Hall 8.0, Booth 10D), #webasto presents how both, new and proven products, manage to bring highest comfort and individual driving experience even for the future of mobility.
Future-proof heating and operating
At #webasto, comfort for the customer is always in focus – this can not at least be seen in the continuously improved portfolio of control devices for #webasto parking heaters. The latest innovation celebrates its premiere at the IAA: The voice control via Alexa-Skill. Necessary condition for this is the use of the #webasto ThermoConnect App as control unit – the related control tool is integrated directly into the car. Equipped like that, a voice command to Alexa is sufficient for a relaxed start into the day with a comfortably heated car and windows cleared from ice.
For decades, #webasto has been working on adjusting its proven product portfolio of thermo solutions to upcoming demands of mobility – regardless of the vehicle’s drive type. On the one hand, #webasto already offers a High-Voltage Heater (HVH) for hybrid- and electric vehicles, which heats the interior as well as the battery. On the other hand, #webasto refines its proven fossil parking and auxiliary heaters to make them ready for use for modern and different fuels. As the newest development in the automobile sector, the Thermo Top Evo NextGen Petrol distinguishes itself through an innovative technology, which enlarges the heating capacity range significantly. In addition, it tolerates a wide range of gasoline blends, including bio or regenerative fuels.
Individual adaption of the atmosphere
Not only the temperature contributes to a pleasant ambient in the vehicle interior, the light atmosphere is also significantly involved. With the switchable glazing from #webasto, the incidence of light through the panorama roof can be adjusted individually. At the touch of a button, the glass element darkens itself or becomes transparent again. Further advantages of this technology are the very short switching time, increased headroom due to lower building space as well as the noiseless modification of light transmission. In addition, the dimmable light transmission of the roof element also has an effect on the interior temperature. Another optional feature in #webasto roof systems is the ambient lighting. Light effects integrated into the roof element or along the guide rails enable different lighting scenarios and create a pleasant atmosphere in the dark. The glass element remains transparent when switched off and creates an open feeling in the room.
