Bedeo and Trigano have created the world's first hybrid motorhome

British company Bedeo together with French motorhome group Trigano has unveiled a unique hybrid motorhome called ElectriX. It is the world's first motorhome with engines built into the wheels.
This stylish B+ class camper van boasts a range of over 700km and the ability to switch to all-electric mode at the touch of a button. This is accomplished using the Range Extender (RE) system, which includes a pair of step motors and a battery pack that provides electric power to the rear wheels without the need to modify the basic internal combustion engine at the front.
The new motorhome model features 115-kV electric motors in the rear wheels and a 37-kW battery pack mounted under the floor. The motorhome can travel up to 100 kilometers on electricity with zero emissions. When the charge runs out, drivers can switch to a 2.2L MultiJet diesel engine with 140 hp, providing a total range of 700 to 900 km. The battery is charged by both regenerative braking and external sources.
The Chausson X550 can provide a comfortable journey for 4 people. Inside, there is a double transformer bed measuring 190 x 140 cm and a lift-up bed of the same size. A bathroom is located at the rear of the motorhome.
The ElectriX has a base price of €99,990
