On the factory floor, orders pile up fast. The last thing you need is a cold cab slowing shipments. Drivers sit there idling, hands stiffening, and the whole line loses momentum. We built our CE-certified portable infrared car heater to cut through that. It keeps the cab warm without killing the battery or forcing a shop refit.
What matters, technically
We run a direct-radiant infrared element. It heats people and surfaces first, not the air. So you feel warmth within seconds, even when the cab is drafty. The unit runs on 12V DC—150W on low, 300W on high. Plug it straight into the vehicle socket; no inverter trips. A built-in thermostat holds the set temperature, and tip-over protection shuts it down if it gets knocked over. The housing is compact, about 200mm by 120mm, and the 2.5m cord gives drivers reach to the seat without hunting for an extension.
Why it works in this business
For wholesalers and traders, reliability is the only currency that counts. This heater warms the driver quickly, so idle time drops and delivery schedules stay intact. Because infrared warmth targets the body, you use less fuel than you would keeping the whole engine bay heated. The CE mark smooths compliance for bulk orders across multiple markets—less paperwork, faster approvals. Install is dead simple. Plug it in, aim it, set the dial. No ductwork, no permanent mounting, no downtime.
The things you need to watch
Clear the windshield before use. Infrared heats surfaces directly, and a cold pane can crack if the beam hits it too close. Keep the heater secured and upright, and never block the front vents. It’s designed for 12V vehicles; on 24V systems, you’ll need the matching step-down adapter. For the best feel, position the unit so the driver’s legs and feet get the main warmth, then tweak the angle until the cab feels evenly comfortable.
