COMPANY NEWS
Webasto heating
and air conditioning
systems
Webasto heating and air
conditioning systems are
used by front line fleets
with systems designed
to meet exacting, tailored
requirements. Our products
are designed to provide
exceptional performance and
service.
Not only do we provide
comfortable working climates for
the crew, we can also achieve a
reduction in idling times which
in turn lowers fuel consumption,
decreases overall operating
costs and helps us to remain
focused towards improving the
environment.
Webasto products have been a
mainstay for one of the largest
fleets in the UK for many years,
based on an impressive reliability
record and ease of operational
function.
A parts locator and replacement
part service are available to ensure
your own people get the best
operational efficiency from the
fleet. Clear and concise training
material, with regular updates are
also offered either at Webasto’s
training academy, or at your
own depot locations to suit your
needs.
For many large fleets, demands
placed on both crew and vehicle
can be extremely arduous, so it
is of vital importance that both
remain fully optimised to respond
when it really matters. When
considering these demands and
agreeing on a build specification
for your frontline ambulance,
rapid response, and patient
transport service vehicles we
will only specify products that
meet the exacting standards
and performance expected from
Webasto.
Webasto is the largest producer
of auxiliary heaters and air
conditioning in Europe. Let us
take you through the options.

The advantages of
Engine-off Technology
A ready-for-duty driver at all times
n Extreme cold is exceptionally strenuous and
exhausting for vehicle drivers. Engine-Off
Heating systems assure a pleasant work
climate and maximum comfort, even in the
coldest conditions.
Environmentally friendly
n The automatic Engine-Off Technology
benefits the environment too. In a double
sense. Thanks to the many engine pauses -
and to the fact that only this new technology
makes use of environment friendly start-stop
systems possible. With a constantly warm
engine, restart comes off without a hitch.
Diesel particulate filters stay clean
longer
n When idling, the combustion temperature
for efficient operation of the filters is too
low. So they soil and wear out much faster.
Engine-Off Climate systems prolong the life
of particulate filters.
Up to 90% less fuel consumption
n In comparison with idling, considerably less
fuel is consumed when the engine is not
running. This can pay off in savings of up
to 90%.
Less wear-and-tear, less
maintenance
n Less idling also means less engine wear and
tear. Engine running times are reduced and,
due to fewer operating hours (up to 60%),
less maintenance is required while achieving
higher resale value.
