Bus Solutions

Always at the forefront of innovation, we develop heating solutions for electric buses and public transport.

Our commitment is part of an ongoing search for solutions aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions, contributing to the path towards more sustainable mobility.

Optimal thermal management for every type of bus

With over 60 years of experience in designing heating solutions, Zoppas Industries develops integrated thermal solutions for electric and conventional buses. Temperature management is a critical factor, both to preserve battery range in electric vehicles and to optimise consumption and reduce CO₂ emissions in conventionally powered vehicles.

From safety to passenger well-being

Our product range focuses on two key requirements of public transport:

Passenger Comfort: Solutions for targeted and efficient heat distribution on board, including auxiliary heaters (boosters), side wall radiant panels and heated floors.
Operational Safety: Anti-icing systems for steps and access areas to prevent slipping, together with driver’s cab heaters (Cab Heater) that ensure constant window demisting and the ideal temperature for the driver.

Our solutions

Heating Solutions

We design and develop systems for the climate comfort and safety of all passengers.

HVAC systems

Our auxiliary heater technology has been developed specifically to achieve the best thermal efficiency with the lowest energy consumption. Weight, radiating materials and positioning systems have been specially engineered to combine savings and performance.

Battery thermal management

Coolant heater or heating foils for direct heating
Supply voltage up to 800V
Use at low temperatures or during battery pre-conditioning before fast charging

Stand-alone ventilated heating for the driver's cab

We supply new-generation systems that perform multiple functions with a single product: comfort, defrosting and window demisting.

Floor heating

Our modular heated floor system has been designed to offer numerous advantages: speed of installation and maintenance, and reduction of the bus’s overall weight and CO₂ emissions. Zoppas Industries is the only player on the market with in-depth expertise in both electric heating and the structural design of composite floors. Passengers will benefit from complete comfort: thermal, perceived and acoustic, thanks to reduced vibrations.

Smart Heating Solutions

We design and engineer advanced heating systems to drive the evolution and efficiency of the railway, marine and bus sectors on a global scale.

Custom-engineered technology

In rail, maritime and road transport, where energy efficiency, safety and reliability are essential constraints, Zoppas Industries does not supply simple components but develops fully engineered solutions. We design smart heating systems capable of responding precisely and rigorously to the most complex application challenges specific to these three markets.

Open Innovation: research and scientific collaboration

Continuous innovation is the driving force of our development. We constantly collaborate with accredited research institutes and universities worldwide to transfer scientific excellence directly into industrial applications through:

The development of next-generation materials and technologies.
The supply of systems integrating advanced sensors for intelligent and safe heat management.
The testing of solutions focused on sustainability and maximum performance.

A consultative approach driven by listening

We do not simply offer a catalogue product: we listen so that we can always propose the most appropriate system. Our sales team works in close synergy with the R&D and Engineering departments to analyse in detail the customer’s real needs and operating constraints, configuring the most suitable and high-performance technical solution.

R&D excellence and efficient service worldwide

Thanks to a solid international organisation and a team of highly qualified professionals, we can support our customers wherever they are, offering efficient and consistent service all over the world:

Distributed technical expertise: A global network of the best talent in R&D and Engineering, ready to support co-design in every geographical area.
Responsiveness and proximity to the customer: A widespread presence to ensure smooth assistance, fast response times and operational continuity, from the initial sales consultation through to product industrialisation.

Why Choose Zoppas Industries

Co-engineering from the design stage

Every solution stems from a joint development process with the customer: from the definition of technical requirements to industrialisation, with no standard catalogue solutions.

Electric by vocation

Zoppas Industries is the all-round partner for everything concerning the supply of electric heaters: our mission, our vocation, our philosophy.

Sustainable consumption

We design solutions that achieve the ideal balance between the highest performance standards, optimised consumption and the elimination of energy waste.

Global presence, local support

We are present all over the world and can therefore guarantee a local commercial, product development and manufacturing presence almost anywhere we are needed.
