For the highest level of performance readiness

Fuel Operated Heaters

Airtronic. Hydronic. Polarn

Robust and powerful heating systems

You are always on the safe side with Eberspächer pre-heaters. Because even when it's frosty outside, optimum temperatures are achieved inside the emergency vehicle. This creates ideal conditions for ensuring the performance and operational readiness of the emergency crew–whether human or canine–at all times. The right technology for every requirement: with the Airtronic air heater, the Hydronic water heater, and the Polarn mobile pre-heater, Eberspächer provides warmth. Exactly where it’s needed.


Airtronic air heaters

Fast, quiet, with capacity to spare

Eberspächer Airtronic air heaters heat the air in the emergency vehicle and distribute it through individually positioned air outlets. This is why Airtronic is particularly suitable for also heating the rear area quickly and efficiently for the crew on their way to the mission. A constant interior temperature can be maintained for an extended period thanks to the low fuel and electricity consumption.
