The designers of energy-saving vehicles are increasingly having to grapple with reduced or lack of dissipated heat from combustion engines. This dissipated heat, which is available virtually free of charge for heating the interior, falls victim to energy conservation. Auxiliary electric heaters help to solve this problem. With electric surface heating, the vehicle interior can be effectively and efficiently heated. This is especially important for electric vehicles because the precious battery energy should be used as much as possible to cover the driving range. Center consoles, headrests, armrests, gearshifts, door panels, floor carpets – there are many interior surfaces of the vehicle that can be heated. The technology used is similar to that of seat heating, but is adapted to the requirements of surface heating in terms of material and performance.
