Defense Express learned from the company representatives that TPU will exhibit its solutions for ensuring comfort and household needs of military personnel and present a new line of evaporators at IDEX 2025, one of the most influential biennial events in the global defense industry.
At the collective booth shared with other Ukrainian companies, TPU demonstrates a multifunctional evaporator Kharkiv 95, alongside AC expansion solutions Kyiv 50 and novel Odesa 90 for military vehicles.

Thanks to its compact design, the HVAC evaporator Odesa 90 efficiently integrates within the cabin of a vehicle as a full-fledged air cooler and heater or expands the existing climate control system with a power output of 9 to 11 kW.
All exhibits were designed by TPU engineers to specifically meet the needs of troops on the battlefield. For example, earlier TPU developed a special heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for the Kozak-5A armored vehicle by Practika, exported to countries with hot climates.
By combining multiple unique solutions into a secondary climate control system, TPU specialists ensured a comfortable environment for the crew to work in, be it winter cold or scorching summer heat. Similar solutions were also integrated into Kozak-2M1 and Kozak-5 vehicles for the domestic customer.
In addition, Thermo Projects Ukraine has recently contributed to improving the BTR-4 armored personnel carrier. The first vehicles equipped with climate systems from TPU are already being used by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on the frontlines of the russian-Ukrainian war.
The high effectiveness of HVAC systems by TPU in the midst of intense warzone conditions has already sparked interest from big players of the market: last year, at Eurosatory 2024, the company received offers from undisclosed industry giants from France, Germany, and Canada.
Known before 2018 as Webasto Thermo & Comfort Ukraine, an official and exclusive representative of German manufacturer Webasto, the company has since changed its changed its management form, becoming 100% Ukrainian, and under the new name Thermo Projects Ukraine, it shifted from selling ready-made products to engineering its own customized solutions.
This approach allowed the company's engineers to be more flexible and offer unique devices for integration into non-standard types of military equipment, as opposed to standardized but civilian alternatives on the market.
TPU presents its offers in Hall No. 14, at the southern exit of the ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi exhibition pavilion, at the shared Ukrainian booth (14-B02).
