Heating solutions for electrically powered school buses
Our extremely efficient high-voltage heaters (HVH) with heating outputs between 5 and 12 kW ensure pleasant temperatures in electric school buses. The space-saving devices convert electrical direct current into heat with virtually no losses (more than 95 percent). All models are ISO 21434-compliant, but differ in terms of voltage and communication interfaces. Electric high-voltage heaters from Webasto not only heat the front and passenger compartments, but can also provide optimum temperature control for traction batteries. This has a positive effect on their range and service life.
