Webasto makes engine-off heating and cooling systems, including the BlueCool Truck, a bunk cooling storage system for sleepers.

“This agreement forges a new business model for Webasto, providing consistency to the market and allowing us to provide a greater reach to more customers by getting parts in the field to better service and support our existing and future customers,” said Mark Hickey, vp-sales & marketing, Webasto Product North America. “With over 200 WheelTime locations, 4,000 factory-trained technicians and a philosophy based around quality customer service, WheelTime is a clear partner of choice.”

“When it comes to CARB-approved engine-off heating and cooling solutions Webasto has one of the most innovative and complete offerings in the market,” said WheelTime CEO Tom Freiwald. “Webasto’s product line will help to differentiate and complement WheelTime’s current business. That’s why our members were excited and on board from the start.”
