Webasto’s Air Top 2000 now offered by Freightliner
Webasto
Webasto officials have announced that Freightliner is now offering Webasto’s Air Top 2000 auxiliary air heater as a published databook option for its Century, Columbia, and Coronado models. Air Top 2000 provides 7,000 Btu/h of sleeper heat without idling.
Providing up to 20 hours of heat on a single gallon of fuel, compared to using over a gallon of fuel per hour when idling, the company says the Air Top 2000 offers a way to save money with today’s high fuel costs. It is installed underneath the sleeper bunk and operated from a control panel mounted on the sleeper wall. Heat is distributed through underbunk ducting and vents and outlet.
Webasto is also pushing the aftermarket devices through a partnership with Volvo Trucks North America. An advisory program is designed to educate Volvo parts managers about auxiliary heaters.
To help demonstrate the fuel savings available, Webasto also offers a fuel savings calculator on its new web site, www.webasto.com. The site is arranged by market, so you can go into the “trucks” section and find the related product information. (Webasto also makes products for the automotive, marine, RV, bus and other markets.) A point-and-click map offers an easy way to find the nearest dealer or distributor. You can print produce brochures and technical manuals directly from the site.
