Webasto will be joining Innovatrix as one of our exhibitors at the upcoming 6th Design and Development of Zero-Emissions Off-Highway Machinery Summit will be taking place May 21-22, 2025 in Berlin, Germany.

As a global innovative systems partner to the mobility industry, Webasto is one of the 100 largest suppliers to the automotive sector worldwide. In development, manufacturing and sales, the company focuses on roof systems on the one hand and on vehicle electrification on the other hand. The product range includes openable and fixed roofs, electric high-voltage heaters and batteries, as well as thermo management solutions. 

Webasto provides tailormade OEM-specific battery solutions, they can respond to a wide range of customer requirements with a high degree of flexibility. They successfully develop customized or build-to-print battery solutions for passenger and commercial vehicles according to customer specifications. Benefits of using Webasto for your off-highway battery needs include:

1. Established system supplier – More and more customers are relying on customized Webasto battery systems. In recent years, they have received orders from leading manufacturers of electric and hybrid vehicles.
2. Turnkey solutions – Based on customer needs, they offer flexible manufacturing options ranging from small batch production to multi-production lines and specialized single production lines for mass production.
3. Short time to market – From signing the contract to the start of production in just two years: Their broad competencies make a short time-to-market possible.
4. Global footprint – Their global network backs up one of the company’s great strengths. In sales, they rely on a globally oriented, proven structure with local support through individual market knowledge.

The testing and prototyping centre in Hengersberg, Germany, offers capacities for building up to 1,200 battery system prototypes per year, which allows Webasto to guarantee a fast internal set-up and thus short development cycles. The heart of the testing facility is the e-MAST (electrified multi-axial oscillating table) for batteries. This unique structure allows complete battery systems to be charged or discharged according to customer specifications and tested under realistic conditions. The in-house electronics development, testing and validation ensure reduced time-to-market from pre-development to the start of series production. Hengersberg is also the blueprint for other battery testing facilities, just like the Chinese Webasto battery centre in Jiaxing, China.

In addition to technological progress, Webasto is also committed to its ecological responsibility. They think along the entire development, production and product cycle and actively work to reduce our ecological footprint with various initiatives and projects. At the Schierling site, a large part of the energy requirement is covered by their own photovoltaic system. With an output of up to 750 Kilowatt-Peak (kWp), battery production can be supplied completely with solar energy. Together with the 2 Megawatt (MW) combined heat and power plant, the PV system is an important building block in the overall strategy for sustainable battery production and a perfect example of a comprehensive energy concept. In the coming years, the site will be continuously developed – with sustainability as the guiding principle.
