Webasto SE is a company headquartered in Stockdorf, Germany, which makes sunroofs, electric-car chargers and air-conditioning systems. [1] Holger Engelmann is the CEO of the company.
Webasto owns 11 locations in China, including in Wuhan. [2] In late January 2020, the company disclosed that five of its workers had tested positive to SARS-CoV-2. [3] [4] [5] This was reportedly one of the first cases of person-to-person transmission of the virus outside China. [5]
The outbreak was handled internally within the company. [6] The story was initially reported in The Wall Street Journal as a case of successful containment of the outbreak. [1] By March 2020, genome studies tracking mutations of the virus suggested that the Webasto outbreak had not been successfully contained, and was linked to a 'decent part' of the overall coronavirus outbreak in Europe. [7] Genetic sequencing also linked the cluster of cases at Webasto's headquarters to the virus outbreak in northern Italy. [8] In May 2020 some medical disprove this assumptions and confirm that the Webasto case remained isolated, [9] while in July other studies identified the most common Italian strain as coming from Germany. [10]
In 2022, Webasto has joined forces with Bosch to develop a self-driving car that will enable autonomous driving at Level 4. [11] The company has integrated 25 sensors from Bosch into the roof of a prototype vehicle for this purpose. [11]
