HVAC Climate Control System
Intelligent solution to automatically control bus cabin climate
Key Facts
What can HVAC Climate Control System provide?
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is ZF’s electronic and intelligent Climate Control System, which automatically regulates the cabin temperature. When outside temperatures are low, a slightly higher temperature is generated in the cabin without the driver's intervention to ensure that the driver's cabin heats up quickly and the windscreen is de-iced rapidly. On warm days, HVAC provides an increased throughput to lower the cabin temperature.
