The Webasto BlueHeat Vehicle Heaters Offer Warmth And A Clear Windshield With No Idling!
Fenton, MI - Finally, there's a car accessory that safeguards your engine and passengers like a heated, mobile garage. Webasto has introduced its BlueHeat line of vehicle heaters for aftermarket installation.
No Idling
The vehicle heater by Webasto enables the user to warm the car or truck without idling. Idling causes unnecessary damage to the engine and produces increased amounts of polluting exhaust fumes. When the Webasto BlueHeat heater is activated, it draws fuel from the vehicle's fuel supply, heats and circulates the engine's fluids, and circulates heated air into the vehicle's passenger compartment without idling the engine. BlueHeat heaters run independently from the vehicle thereby canceling the need for harmful idling.
Easy to Use
BlueHeat heaters are installed standard with a digital timer, allowing the user to easily set the start time for as many as three times each day. The digital timer mounts to the vehicle's dashboard and presents a clear LED display of it's active functions. Also available for the BlueHeat heaters is a convenient remote activation key fob. This remote control unit contains three buttons; the first for starting, the second for ending, and the third to operate the fan for air circulation inside the vehicle. The remote's standard range is just under 500 feet.
Environmentally Conscious
Webasto's BlueHeat heaters address the need to reduce idling time in personal and commercial vehicles. The amount of smog that is attributable to idling vehicles has prompted many local governments to limit idling in and around major metropolitan areas. Webasto's heaters fill the need of heating the vehicle AND fill the need of reducing harmful idling by not running the vehicle's engine. With BlueHeat it's a win-win solution. Time-Saving Device
Using an auxiliary heater from Webasto frees the operator from time-consuming and tedious chores, such as clearing the ice from windshields, and waiting for the vehicle to warm up. Your time is spent on more important items, such as your family, your job, and your friends. In the morning your vehicle can heat up while you're enjoying breakfast, knowing that you're not idling your car and spewing increasing amounts of pollutants into the environment. With Webasto's BlueHeat heaters, you have more time.
Safe Driving
Clear windshields, free of fog and ice, are imperative for the safe operation of any vehicle. Webasto's heaters ensure that the engine and all fluids are up-to-temperature for immediate use once the vehicle is started. This gives faster defrost time to iced windshields and provides instant heat once the engine is turned over.
M.S.R.P. for a Webasto BlueHeat vehicle heater, including installation and a remote, is $2,249.
Webasto is currently looking for aftermarket installation facilities to add to its North American network of Authorized BlueHeat Dealers.
WPI, a subsidiary of worldwide parent company Webasto AG, based in Stockdorf, Germany, is a worldwide leader in the supply of roof and thermo systems to the automotive and heavy truck industries. Webasto AG employs more than 5,000 people in 46 countries, with 7 locations in the North American market. Webasto has a North American network of over 500 Authorized Dealers. The primary goal of its four divisions – technical, product, sales and marketing – is to increase the overall product and service quality for its customers.
