Global innovative systems partner supplying roof and heating systems, battery systems and charging solutions, Webasto Group announced its foray into the Indonesian market.
The Germany based group said, by introducing its innovative roof systems to local vehicle manufacturers (OEMs), the company underlines the vehicle design and comfort, for example, through great visibility, fresh air, quiet drive and ease of operation.
The rapid urbanisation due to the country's growth has increased vehicle traffic in Indonesia over the past years. With more time spent in their cars, there is the need for the drivers to seek solutions to feel better and enhance their daily driving. One of these solutions is roof systems.
Sunroof glass panels can filter at least 95% of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can be further enhanced with an additional layer of protection that increases the infrared rejection (IR). For the user, this sees the reduction of temperature and heat generation within the vehicle while minimising any risk of skin-burning sensation.
Kento Ishikawa, Chief Validation, Webasto Asia Pacific, 'We perform operational durability tests for over ten thousand cycles under various temperature conditions, as well as tests for water leakage and noise changes. The commitment of our quality is also complemented by futureproof thinking, such as the use of polycarbonate, polyurethane composites, and the ProTec technology. With this, we ensure that in the future, roof systems with even less weight can be produced.'
Other prominent and future-oriented features of Webasto's roof systems include Roof Sensor Module with integrated sensors for autonomous driving, including thermal & cleaning management. Solar Roofs allow drivers to charge the battery with solar power (EU Eco-Innovation). Convertible Roof Systems for soft, hard, and hybrid Convertible Roofs and Space-Optimized Roof Systems for more interior space and headroom.
