Reader Vote Propels Webasto into First Place for the 15th Time

Stockdorf/Munich – July 27, 2020 – Every year, publishing house ETM surveys readers of the magazines “trans aktuell”, “lastauto omnibus” and “FERNFAHRER” to ascertain the best brands among commercial vehicles and suppliers. In the “Air Conditioning/Heating” category, Webasto again wins readers’ trust – now for the 15^th time.

“We would like to thank all of the readers who voted for us! We look forward to ensuring a feel-good climate in your vehicles in future, too,” says Andreas Scholz, Sales Manager Germany, Retail & Service Business at Webasto. Overall, 62.2 percent of the 8,125 participating readers voted for Webasto. They were able to select from seven manufacturers of heating and/or air conditioning systems.

Normally, the ETM publishing house presents winners with their awards during a ceremony at the publisher’s location in Stuttgart. But this year, the ceremony took place virtually on 23 July. All of the prizewinners and guests were able to follow the event live on Facebook and YouTube. The winners submitted photos and videos in advance which were then inserted into the feeds. Webasto gave an acceptance speech in the style of the European Song Contest. This involved two Webasto employees thanking the readers and, turning the tables on them, awarding them “twelve points” – the highest score at the European music competition. The video can still be viewed at: etm.de/facebook and etm.de/youtube (both in German).
