Just announced,the newly-developed Airtronic NG Commercial air heater burns compressed natural gas (CNG), which makes it ideally suited for all trucks, the company said.
“Our Airtronic NG Commercial is the first air heater that is specially designed for the continuously growing market for natural gas trucks in North America,” explains Dr. Volker Hohensee, president of Espar North America. “The Airtronic NG Commercial project shows that in addition to modern heating components for diesel and gasoline vehicles, we are consistently working on new solutions for alternative, environmentally-friendly drives in the commercial vehicle segment.”
Airtronic and Truma know-how
If the truck driver’s cabin is to be heated up fast and effectively, the Airtronic air heaters from Espar are the right choice. They are in use thousands of times over and have been proven in numerous commercial vehicles for many years.
The unit uses the existing and proven technology from Truma, a leading manufacturer of gas-fuelled heating systems in Europe. The Airtronic NG Commercial is designed for CNG and LNG-fuelled commercial vehicles in on-road and off-road operation. The advantage: compared to previous solutions, the engine and the heating can now be supplied from just one tank. This saves valuable installation space and makes the installation easier for OEMs and retrofitting workshops—with noticeably lower installation costs, the company said. In the U.S., sales are made through Espar Inc. in Novi, and in Canada through Espar Products Inc. in Mississauga Ontario.
Alternative motorization
Trucks with a natural gas drive are being used to an ever greater extent especially in distribution transport and in a community context in North America. To offer the drivers the best working conditions, Espar is expanding its product range in the commercial vehicle sector and presenting the ready-for-series-production heating solution.
