A textbook example of successful transformation on four wheels: Webasto and the Lotus sports car brand are ushering in a new era of electromobility and automated driving. The new, all-electric Lotus Eletre is packed with systems expertise from the German Top 100 automotive supplier.

Webasto, systems partner to the electromobility sector, will showcase a special highlight at Booth 560, Hall B6 at this year’s Power2Drive. Vestel, a crosssector manufacturer of electronics and mobile technologies among others, together with the innovative automotive supplier, will introduce their first joint product, the smart wallbox Webasto Unite.

In this year’s surveys conducted by the magazines Auto Bild, auto motor und sport and Auto Zeitung, over 150,000 participants voted for Webasto as the best parking heater brand. The company has now won the “triple” for the sixth consecutive time.

In April and May, Webasto is inviting electrical fitters to attend a series of three consecutive online seminars (45 minutes each). During these seminars Stefan Hirzinger, electrician, utility engineer and charging expert, will offer detailed information and tips on installing charging stations – in German.

Thermomanagement expert Webasto is expanding its range of rooftop air conditioners for caravans and motorhomes with its new Cool Top Trail 28. The model offers a cooling capacity of 2.8 kilowatts and is suitable for vehicles of up to 8.5 meters in length. It is extremely compact with external dimensions of 85.5 x 65.7 x 21.5 centimeters (L x W x H), allowing flexible installation on the vehicle’s roof. The unit’s housing is made of UV-stabilized polypropylene, making it extremely robust yet lightweight, at just 35.5 kilograms.

Webasto Battery Services delivers comprehensive support and advice to customers of the top-100 supplier when it comes to electrifying their vehicle fleets – from planning and development through to implementation of electric drives and beyond.

A retrofitted diesel air heater from Webasto ensures up to 35 percent more range in electrically powered vans during the cold months of the year. It moreover ensures pleasant temperatures for passengers and everyone who relies on a warm vehicle for work.

Thanks to several major charging solution orders, North American business of Webasto continues to gain momentum. The order volume already amounts to almost five million EV charging cables by 2027.

Webasto is showcasing itself as a leading electromobility system provider at the Battery Show Europe and presents its first own passenger car battery.

The demand for battery-powered mobility solutions for local public transport is increasing, particularly in metropolitan areas. French company Lohr is meeting the growing demand with an innovative E-Shuttle system. The batteries to power it come from Webasto.
