Steps ahead: Knaus Tabbert shapes the future of e-Caravanning

Electric is the buzz word of modern mobility. More and more people are opting for cars with alternative power systems. No harmful burning of fossil fuels, fewer local emissions – putting climate protection back on the road. From January to August 2023 alone, almost half of all newly registered vehicles in Germany were equipped with alternative power systems. 614,200 hybrid vehicles were registered in Germany by September last year. This trend is also reflected throughout Europe: In August 2023, for example, registrations of all-electric Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) had a record increase of 118.1 per cent in Europe – this corresponds to 165,165 new vehicle registrations and a market share of 21 per cent in this month alone.
Knaus Tabbert is building on these developments and setting a positive example for the future of electromobility – especially for modern caravanning. Take the KNAUS YASEO, for example, an innovative and state-of-the-art caravan which includes all the disciplines of ambitious vehicle construction: from consistent lightweight design for a reduction in air resistance thanks to the optimised front surface, to the complete electrification of all essential camping functions such as cooking, cooling or heating. In addition, there is a completely new flexibility in living space design, which offers the same convenient functions of much larger vehicles on a comparatively smaller floor area.
In brief: The Knaus Tabbert development team has confidently taken on the challenges of future e-Caravanning with fresh and innovative ideas to significantly reduce the energy consumption of electric towing vehicles and enable practical ranges for the user.
