Optimal heating performance
Fuel Operated Heaters
Eberspächer Airtronic and Hydronic
Heating systems that keep their promises
Diesel operated pre-heaters provide engine-independent heating options for your drivers. This ensures ideal climate conditions in truck cabs, particularly during prescribed breaks when outside temperatures are freezing. Eberspächer is the expert partner at your side with a large range of fuel operated heaters, such as the Airtronic S3 Commercial/M air heater or the Hydronic S3 Commercial water heater.
Airtronic air heaters
Fast, quiet, with capacity to spare
Eberspächer Airtronic air heaters heat the air in the truck and distribute it through individually positioned air outlets. This is why the Airtronic is especially suitable for heating the driver’s cab quickly and efficiently. A constant interior temperature can be maintained for an extended period thanks to the low fuel and electricity consumption.
Power range: 2 to 8 kW
