Webasto Thermo & Comfort North America, a global automotive and aftermarket equipment manufacturer, developed a special HVAC system for Waldoch, a customer van manufacturer.
Waldoch integrated a Webasto’s Ibiza heating and cooling system into its 2015 Ford Transit SEMA vehicle. The Ibiza is a vertical air conditioning unit with heating option with over 31,000 Btu/h cooling capacity, and over 41,000 Btu/h of heating performance.
Webasto and Waldoch worked together to customize the HVAC system.
“This is an important partnership for Webasto to really understand the needs of upfitters in terms of vehicle integration practices, installation costs and balance of product features that are desired,” said Dr. Rolf Haag, Webasto Thermo & Comfort president and chief executive officer. “The system’s low maintenance, high reliability and optimum climate control performance is achieved at a competitive price for the end user.”
The customized long-wheelbase, medium-roof Ford Transit by Waldoch, dubbed the “Designed Travel Transit,” features:
- Forgiato 20-in. three-piece wheels;
- Pirelli 265/50/R20 wheels;
- Waldoch Crafts exterior paint;

- 3dCarbon/Air Design front bumper light bezels;
- Chairmen Seating Inc., (6) bucket seats, (1) rear sofa;
