Valeo unveils energy-saving FlexHeater for electric commercial vehicles

At the IAA, Valeo unveiled FlexHeater, an intelligent heating system designed for electric commercial vehicles. The system integrates surface heating technology (FlexHeater) into various cabin elements, such as door panels, the center console, cockpit, and rear seats, and works in conjunction with smart control of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) module. FlexHeater achieves impressive energy savings, reducing consumption by 50% when the temperature drops to -7°C with a single driver and by up to 25% when the vehicle is fully occupied.
