Component development with testing
We develop and manufacture the core components for heating and air conditioning in-house. This is the only way to ensure that our components and systems meet the special requirements of our heavy-duty customers.
With the development and manufacture of components in our direct control, we draw closer to the advantage of implementing modular concepts, with which various market demands such as Economy to Premium models can be properly outfitted. Components, which we do not make ourselves, are developed and validated by, and sourced from well-recognized and experienced partners.
System Development with Testing, Simulation, and Software
The cure for thermal comfort is revealed by organizing the interplay between components in the system in such a way that optimal outcomes in driving mode are reached. To accomplish this, we have invested in the calculation tools for components and simulation tools, which test this interplay across various weather conditions over an entire year. Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, strength, and acoustics are investigated with models that simulate the whole vehicle throughout a yearly cycle.
This way, we accommodate the demand to optimally provide thermal comfort throughout the entire vehicle.
Application technologies with field tests
Our application technologies, including test chambers, in all of our locations achieve the target of pinpointing specific vehicle packaging, and meeting the desired functionality. Here, we work in close collaboration with our customers as strategic development partners.
Foundational for all this is our product development process (PDP), which draws upon our many years of experience, including best practices, benchmarks, and lessons-learned, to achieve exactly what customers expect.
