Konvekta is a pioneer in using CO2 as a refrigerant in climate control HVAC systems. More than 2,000 buses have been fitted with its CO2 heat pump HVAC system and these are now in successful operation throughout Europe.

The ‘Heat Belt’ is designed to provide close-to-body warmth between 36 and 40 degrees Celsius while using just 70 watts of energy, providing a low-energy alternative to conventional heating systems.

Appointed with immediate effect of Eberspächer Group, Pepijn Dinandt has served as CEO and Executive Chairman of industrial companies such as URSA, Braas Monier and Mannesmann Plastics Machinery.

The manufacturer’s ‘Thermoplastic Refrigerant Lines’ technology eliminates the rubber hose and crimp assembly components which would be required in a conventional aluminium-and-rubber arrangement, making it 60% lighter.

Konvekta's roof-mounted CO2 heat pump has been adapted for electric buses and can operate in ambient conditions from -20°C to +45°C without requiring an additional separate electric heating system.

The manufacturer of exhaust and thermal management products released sales figures and recapped divisional changes and product presentations from the past twelve months.

The exhaust and thermal management specialist has appointed board members responsible for finance, strategy, and division management, expanding the board from three to seven personnel.

The German manufacturer of exhaust and thermal management products is building a new facility on an 80,000-square-metre site near the Romanian border, in response to strong demand for electric vehicles.

The Athena Mk III series is a new range of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems specifically for diesel and CNG buses, boasting reduced fuel consumption and operating costs.

It was back in 2019 that Hispacold started to deliver its first of 37 full electric HVAC systems for Alexander Dennis’ E400EV electric double deck models. The vehicles were equipped with two electric HVAC systems, one for passengers, the DDE HP E400 EV, and one for the driver, DCAB HP E400 EV.

HVAC systems supplier for bus and coach and rail, Hispacold SA has opened a climate testing laboratory at its headquarters in Seville. The new purpose-built facility has two separate climate chambers, one for bus and one for rail. Hispacold says it has invested close to EUR1million in the centre, with initial plans first drawn up as far back as 2010.
