Applications

Function & safety systems
In professional vehicles, technology must perform reliably—regardless of weather conditions. Heating solutions for switches, braking systems, and defrosting protect sensitive components from ice formation and moisture. The result is safer operation, extended service life, and reduced downtime, even in the most demanding environments.
Comfort & working environment
For the driver, safety, comfort, and visibility are essential. Our cabin and cab heaters create comfortable working environments even at low temperatures and during long operating shifts. With fast and uniform heating, both safety and efficiency are improved for drivers in transportation and industrial applications.
Powertrain & energy
Reliable operation starts with the right temperature. Our heating solutions ensure optimal performance in engines, batteries, and fluid systems—regardless of climate. By efficiently heating oil, coolant, and AdBlue, the technology helps reduce energy consumption, minimize wear, and deliver stable performance in both electric and conventional vehicles.

"Our customers in the automotive and transportation industries require solutions that meet high demands for safety, efficiency, and reliability. Through customized heating technology, we help them electrify, reduce energy consumption, and keep operations running - regardless of environment or vehicle type."
