Eurosatory 2026 has opened in Paris, and alongside the armoured vehicles, drones, and field systems filling the halls sits a capability that rarely makes headlines but can decide whether an operation runs smoothly: keeping people and equipment at a workable temperature, wherever they are. Thermobile Industries is at the show with a line-up of mobile heating and cooling units engineered specifically for defence — and as a Danish supplier of Thermobile equipment, we wanted to share what’s on display.
A capability designed for the field
Running from 15–19 June at the Paris-Nord Villepinte exhibition centre, Eurosatory is the world’s largest exhibition for land and air-land defence and security, drawing tens of thousands of professionals and official delegations from dozens of countries. You’ll find Thermobile in the official Eurosatory exhibitor catalogue at its open-air stand, ExtPe6b – B24, presenting heating systems and cooling units built for harsh military environments — the kind of conditions where standard equipment simply gives up.
That focus is the whole point. Thermobile has spent more than fifty years building robust mobile heaters and, more recently, cooling units that hold up in frozen terrain, high humidity, and exposed, windswept sites. For defence users the requirements are unforgiving: rapid deployment, dependable output around the clock, simple operation under pressure, and durability that survives transport and rough handling between locations.
Why heating and cooling in the field is harder than it looks
Warming a tent, shelter, or forward base is not the same as heating a building. The equipment has to move, set up fast, run reliably with minimal maintenance, and perform whether it’s deployed in arctic cold or sweltering heat. Cooling brings its own demands — climate control for tents and mobile setups that has to be just as rugged and just as portable as the heating that sits beside it.
Fuel is part of the equation too. In the field you use what’s available, which is why Thermobile’s heaters are designed to run on a range of diesel fuels rather than a single specification. That flexibility matters operationally — and it also opens a door we follow closely at Arne Nielsen A/S. As renewable diesel such as HVO becomes more widely available, fuel-flexible diesel heating gives operators a route to lower fossil emissions without changing the hardware. It’s the same fuel-flexibility thinking that runs through much of the combustion work we do.
From the front line to the building site
The qualities that make Thermobile equipment suited to defence — ruggedness, mobility, reliable heat and cooling, and that fuel flexibility — are exactly what’s needed well beyond the military. The same units earn their keep on construction sites, in agriculture, at events, in drying and moisture control, and as standby or emergency heating when a permanent system is down.
That’s the range we supply in Denmark. Whether you’re heating a tent hall through a Danish winter, drying out a building after water damage, or keeping a temporary facility comfortable year-round, Thermobile’s mobile heating and cooling covers the demanding end of the market — and we’re here to help you match the right unit to the job.
