BEDEO, a leader in electric vehicle conversion, has officially entered the motorhome market through a partnership with the TRIGANO Group, renowned for its wide portfolio of motorhome brands and camping equipment. The collaboration has led to the unveiling of the first BEDEO-powered motorhomes, the Chausson X550 and X650 ElectriX models, along with the Challenger X150 and X250 ElectriX. These innovative models, designed for eco-conscious campers, are currently on display at the Villepinte Leisure Vehicle Show in France.
A New Era of Electrified Motorhomes
BEDEO’s entry into the motorhome segment reflects a growing demand for sustainable travel solutions. The new ElectriX models, featuring BEDEO’s cutting-edge Range Extender (RE) Drive Electric system, offer a compelling mix of eco-friendly performance and extended range capabilities. Each vehicle is equipped with a 37 kWh battery and 115 kW electric motors, delivering at least 100 km of full-electric autonomy—perfect for quiet, off-grid adventures with zero tailpipe emissions.
For longer journeys, the ElectriX models transition to thermal mode, extending the range to over 900 km. This is made possible by a 140 hp internal combustion engine (with an optional 180 hp upgrade), providing flexibility for drivers who need to travel greater distances between campsites.
Eco-Friendly Comfort and Flexibility
The Chausson X550 and X650 ElectriX models, as well as the Challenger X150 and X250 ElectriX, are tailored for modern adventurers who seek both sustainability and comfort. Inside, these motorhomes boast spacious, modular living areas, accommodating up to four adults. Each vehicle is equipped with a fully functional kitchen, a compact bathroom, and a panoramic roof that enhances the sense of open space. Designed for all-season use, the motorhomes feature efficient heating systems and top-quality fixtures for the kitchen and bathroom.
BEDEO’s Impact on Sustainable Travel
Osman Boyner, Founder and CEO of BEDEO, highlighted the significance of this collaboration: “Our partnership with TRIGANO Group marks a significant step in transforming the campervan market towards a more sustainable future. BEDEO’s electrification technology empowers adventurers to explore nature responsibly, offering the perfect balance between eco-conscious travel and long-range performance.”
With over a decade of experience converting large light commercial vehicles (LCVs) from brands like Citroën, Fiat, Peugeot, and Vauxhall/Opel, BEDEO brings proven expertise to the motorhome sector. The ElectriX models come with a seven-year or 100,000 km battery warranty, ensuring reliability and peace of mind for eco-conscious travelers.
A Glimpse of the Future
The introduction of BEDEO’s electrified motorhomes signals a significant shift toward greener, more flexible travel options. With TRIGANO’s extensive industry knowledge and BEDEO’s innovative electric technologies, the Chausson and Challenger ElectriX models are set to redefine the future of camping. These motorhomes will be available for delivery across Europe, offering a new level of sustainable adventure.
