Grayson Thermal Systems’ Matthew Hateley explained: “Busworld is a massive opportunity for us to cement our reputation as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of cooling, heating and thermal management products,” explained

“This will be our biggest ever presence at Busworld and – at any one stage – we’ll have six of our technical experts on hand to discuss client requirements and explain the new innovations we are bringing to market.

Hateley continued: ‘The new pump, controllable via PWM and CAN, offers greater efficiency for flow versus amps than anything currently out there in the marketplace and has an anticipated motor life expectancy of 20,000 hours. This can be mounted in any orientation on the vehicle, whilst not affecting performance.
