Airstream owner Thor Industries has hinted at future plans with two new concept electric RVs designed for eco-friendly road trips.
Airstream owner Thor Industries has hinted at future plans with two new concept electric RVs, both shown in the video below.
Electric motors attached to each of the eStream’s wheels power up when it starts moving, enabling the towing vehicle to save battery power and maintain range . But it doesn’t end there. Airstream’s modern travel trailer also features solar panels that enable off-grid camping for extended periods, while the modern interior comes with voice- and touchscreen-activated climate and lighting controls.
The Indiana-based company elaborated: “Studies have established that electric vehicles experience a significant loss of range even when towing a small trailer. The technology we co-developed creates a synchronized relationship between the trailer and the tow vehicle, enabling the trailer to move in harmony with the tow vehicle … This, in turn, dramatically improves the possible range of the combination. In essence, we’ve turned the trailer into an electric vehicle.
