Why should I choose a parking cooler?

To prevent the truck cabin from getting too hot while sleeping, many drivers leave the engine running at night to keep the air conditioning on. This has several drawbacks: it uses a lot of fuel, makes noise, and emits a lot of CO₂.

With an electric parking cooler, you avoid these problems. These systems operate on the truck’s battery, so the engine doesn’t need to run. That means no CO₂ emissions and no noise.

How does a parking cooler work?

A parking cooler always works independently from the truck’s standard air conditioning. You use the normal AC during the day to cool the cabin. Then, you set the parking cooler to the same temperature and turn off the engine. The cooler keeps the temperature stable.

Note: parking coolers don’t have enough power to lower the temperature — they only maintain the existing temperature.

How do I install a parking cooler in my truck?

Installing a parking cooler in a truck may sound difficult, but it’s quite easy. It replaces the roof hatch, which can be removed without problems. The unit comes with installation instructions and all necessary materials. Our technical experts are happy to help with advice on the best way to install it.

Which parking cooler fits my truck?

At BAS Parts & Tyres, we have a fitting parking cooler for every European truck. Because each truck has a different cabin type and roof hatch opening, there’s no universal model. Based on the brand, model and cabin type, we always find a suitable option. We also verify the chassis number to ensure a perfect fit.

What does a parking cooler cost?

Our best-selling model is the VIESA parking cooler. Prices start at just €1,495. The final price depends on the truck model and required installation kit.

How quickly does a parking cooler pay for itself?

This depends on fuel prices and how many nights the driver sleeps in the cabin. Fuel consumption while idling also plays a role. On average, a VIESA parking cooler pays for itself within 15 weeks.

New or used parking cooler?

At BAS Parts & Tyres, we sell both new and used parking coolers. We offer various brands and price ranges. The advantage of a new unit is that it comes with a warranty.
