Eco-campervan specialist, CampervanCo, has launched its latest eco camper, the Alphard Hybrid Eco Pioneer II 

The new model is based on used versions of the Toyota Alphard Hybrid v2 with enhanced performance and lower emissions over previous models and so offers greater and greener independent living, more storage and extras such as a lithium leisure battery to allow a longer time camping without the need for mains electricity.

The main feature of the new model is its 200Ah lithium leisure battery, which can power 230V appliances, such as a cooker and fridge, without the need for a mains hook-up or intermittently running the engine to top up the battery while parked. It also powers the lighting and climate control, and it can do this for over a week without recharging based on normal use, says CampervanCo.

The new campervan also has a 2,000W inverter to support high-power appliances like toasters and microwaves, and bespoke relays that optimise the amount of battery charge available to the customer.

When (or if) the battery does run down, it can be recharged from 0% to full in less than three hours, and it is also continually recharged when driving. The system is also backed up with roof-mounted solar panels that can deliver 6Ah back to the battery.

Another standout new feature is in the upgraded cab, which features a 13in Apple & Android screen, capable of playing high-definition feature films with Bluetooth-connected power-monitoring info display, plus maps, weather updates and loads more.

The Alphard Pioneer II has a 600-mile range on the 2.4-litre hybrid petrol engine with additional 4x4 automatic transmission, meaning it can go where most campervans can’t.

A new and very popular feature to this range is the option to have the drivetrain powered by electric only, by the simple flick of a switch. The interior features lightweight materials and CampervanCo’s patented Omnislide cooker, which enables cooking both inside or out.
