Always a warm start

A parking heater warms up the cab before the driver or operator sets off.

As a result, the user benefits from:

• immediate comfort;
• an ice-free windshield;
• less condensation;
• better visibility;
• fewer cold starts.

Depending on the system chosen, the engine can also be preheated. This reduces wear during cold starts and helps the engine reach operating temperature faster.

Air Heating or Water Heating

Webasto offers various heating systems, depending on the application.

Air Top air heating

The Air Top series heats the cab quickly and efficiently by blowing warm air directly into the cab.

This solution is ideal for:

• rest periods;
• overnight stays;
• work vehicles;
• machinery.

The systems are compact, quiet, and energy-efficient.

Thermo Top water heating

For vehicles where the engine also needs to be preheated, Webasto offers water heating systems.

These systems heat both the engine and the interior before the trip begins.

This increases comfort and reduces wear and tear during cold starts.

Rietveld can recommend which type of heater best suits your vehicle and usage.

With a parking heater, the desired temperature can be maintained without letting the engine idle.

That means:

• greater comfort;
• less noise;
• lower fuel consumption;
• fewer emissions;
• less engine wear.
