Solutions for Electromobility
Vehicles with electric powertrains will have an impact on the streetscape in future. Automobile manufacturers and their suppliers are actively shaping this change by developing more efficient and needs-driven technologies. As the innovation and technology leader, Webasto also offers advanced solutions in this field.
High-voltage heater (HVH):
As a specialist for thermo management in vehicles, Webasto offers the high-voltage heater. All variants of this electric heater utilize heating layer technology to efficiently convert electric power to heat with practically no losses.
The heat ensures ice-free windows and comfort in the vehicle’s interior. The heat generated by the heater is simultaneously used to keep the battery operating temperature within the ideal range to ensure that efficiency is optimized.

Charging solutions:
Supplying electric and hybrid vehicles with electricity nationwide – whether underway, at the workplace or at home – is a fundamental requirement for electromobility. For this purpose Webasto has developed a comprehensive portfolio of charging stations that is tailored to the different technical and infrastructural requirements of global markets. All of the charging solutions meet the relevant norms and OEM standards – and therefore also the highest quality and safety standards.

Battery systems:
The powertrain battery in a vehicle is the key technology that drives electromobility. At Webasto we have developed high-voltage battery systems based on our expertise and experience. Conceived as a design-to-cost solution, we have maintained an open system approach (pouch, prismatic or cylindrical) and have oriented ourselves on the needs and requirements of our customers and markets.

Installation Space-Optimized Roof System:
The space required for the battery means that installation space is one of the challenges posed by electromobility. Webasto develops mechanisms, sunblinds and drives for an installation space-neutral roof system.
Investment in innovation and growth
The mobility of the future opens up new business opportunities and thus completely new areas of development. Webasto is investing in a research project at its Neubrandenburg location, which deals with components of a central control unit for electric vehicles.
The core of the project is the development of an integrative layer heating module for thermal conditioning of the electronic components of a central control unit. In terms of process engineering, the focus is on coating processes, joining technologies and ensuring an intelligent production process.
The project partners of Webasto are ‚Fraunhofer-Einrichtung für Großstrukturen,, ‚Schweißtechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GmbH‘ and ‚Leibniz-Institut für Plasmaforschung und Technologie e.V.‘.
The collaborative research project is co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund.
