Zusammenfassung:Multiple vehicle heating systems are disclosed providing a multilayered heating fabric to provide thermal radiation to vehicle occupants. In one embodiment, a heating system comprises a plurality of electrical bus bars and a heating fabric. The plurality of electrical bus bars connect to a battery within a vehicle to receive electrical power. The heating fabric comprises a conductive layer, and a non-conductive layer. The conductive layer comprises a plurality of non-uniform conductive fibers disbursed within a binder. The non-uniform conductive fibers are in electrical communication with at least two of the plurality of electrical bus bars. The non-uniform conductive fibers are adapted to convert electrical power to thermal radiation. The non-conductive layer insulates the conductive layer from the vehicle.
