Parking heaters
One of the main ways of heating the car is a parking heater (usually webasto) which does not take heat from the cooling system, but directly from the combustion of petrol or diesel oil in a special chamber separated for that purpose. In this system heating the cabin does not require the engine to work. It is used in places with low temperature e.g. Sweden, Alaska but also ever more often in the countries with the moderate climate, because it facilitates and accelerates the preparation of the car for driving (melts snow), reduces fuel consumption and increases the life of the engine (the engine is warmed up - no cold start effect). During summer (high temperature and solar radiation) the system cools the inside of the car providing comfort when you get into the car.
