The efficiency of long-haul transport and regional logistics depends directly on the conditions in which the driver works. SCANIA P-series lorries, particularly the P 320 model, are renowned for their ergonomics and durability; however, even such technologically advanced vehicles require additional equipment to operate in harsh winter conditions. Fitting an autonomous heater to the Scania P 320 is a strategic decision that allows the cab temperature to be maintained at an ideal level during long stops without running the main engine, which is critical for saving diesel fuel and preserving the truck’s engine life.
To maintain the optimum temperature in the cab, ECOTERM Group uses equipment from the German company Eberspächer – a recognised global leader in the autonomous heating industry. The brand’s products are valued for their innovative approach to energy efficiency and high fire safety standards. For the powerful Scania P 320 lorry, the Eberspächer Airtronic M2 D4L (24V) model is the ideal choice.
The Airtronic M2 D4L model is part of the latest generation of air heaters and features a number of significant technical improvements. A key feature of the unit is its use of a modern brushless electric motor. This has not only reduced noise levels to a minimum, ensuring the driver gets a good night’s sleep, but has also extended the unit’s service life to 5,000 hours. Thanks to its 4 kW heat output, the heater is capable of instantly warming the spacious cab of the Scania P-series, distributing hot air evenly throughout.
Specialists from ECOTERM Group carried out the installation of the heater Eberspächer, strictly adhering to the manufacturer’s technical regulations and taking into account the truck owner’s specific requirements. Key aspects of the project:
- Location: by agreement with the customer, the heater Eberspächer was installed in the external luggage compartment. This solution minimised operating noise levels.
- Configuration: the reliability of the installation was ensured by using the manufacturer’s proprietary installation kit. For convenient control, the EasyStart Select remote control was selected, which is always in stock at our warehouse.
- Technical integration: the heater Eberspächer is connected to the vehicle’s 24V on-board electrical system and its standard fuel system. Particular attention was paid to the airtightness of the components and the correct exhaust routing, which ensures there are no unpleasant odours in the passenger compartment.
- Heat distribution: thanks to a well-designed duct system, the heat flow is directed towards the passenger area, ensuring rapid heating of the entire cabin and even air circulation.
The result of the installation is a fully self-contained system that operates quietly, economically and reliably, transforming the Scania cab into a cosy place to rest in all weathers.
