First Otokar bus to be standard equipped with Spheros air conditioning
New partnership
Gilching/Istanbul, August 2012 Leading Turkish bus manufacturer Otokar
has selected Spheros as system supplier to provide air conditioning for the
new intercity bus Territo U.
With the Territo U Otokar has added a first intercity bus to its product range,
with which it is hoped to conquer the European market, in particular the
German- and Italian-speaking regions. For the air conditioning the Turkish bus
manufacturer opted for a system solution from Spheros, not least due to the
extensive and reliable Spheros service network in Europe.
It will comprise the compact Aerosphere Tropical 300 rooftop unit with a
cooling capacity of 35 kW, Thermo E Combi heater and fully automatic SC 1000
control unit for intelligent control of all air conditioning components. The
Thermo E Combi heater is a compact system consisting of the Thermo E 320
heater, Aquavent 6000SC pump and compatible fuel filter. The system is
offered as a unit and gives the customer substantial savings in terms of costs,
installation work and storage space. The first 50 systems are currently being
produced at the Spheros Turkey plant and will be delivered to Otokar for
installing in the 4th quarter of 2012.
Turkish subsidiary Spheros Termo Sistemleri A.S., with its head office in
Istanbul, plays a key role in the Spheros works alliance. On premises of
5,500 m² the company develops, tests and manufactures air conditioners for
the local and international markets. The production programme also includes
sidewall heaters, front boxes and other accessories.
