Не дорогой, комфортный, уютный

At the CARAVAN SALON 2021 exhibition, Knaus Tabbert AG will present a highly regarded vehicle survey, thereby reinforcing our own aspirations as an innovative leader in the industry: The “Knaus E.POWER DRIVE” - the first fully electric motorhome from Jandelsbrunn. In cooperation with HWA AG - a leader in the motor sport and engineering field and an experienced, internationally renowned development partner - we created this electrically-powered KNAUS motorhome using electrical drive. The vehicle survey “Knaus E.POWER DRIVE” is based on a KNAUS Van Ti 650 MEG Vansation. Optically it still resembles a conventional, partially integrated motorhome. But the complex technology of the KNAUS survey can already be seen in the cockpit. There is no need for a gear lever since you can dispense with the propulsion engine as well as the six-speed manual gearbox. In its place we have installed “push button automatics” with a system known from automatic transmission: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive). A further two buttons on the panel turn on the vehicle heating (also heats up the traction battery when outside temperatures are low) or turn off the recuperation during adverse driving conditions such as ice or packed snow.

The e-motor performs at up to 180 kW and enables this fully equipped, four-seater motorhome to travel at over 110 km/h. It can, however, also recuperate during manual mode, meaning, it can produce electric energy which is stored in the high voltage battery installed close to the axis in the rear floor of the motorhome. At best, the lithium-ion cells of the front-wheel driven “Knaus E.POWER DRIVE” can be recharged within around three hours at a public wallbox charging point. The Range Extender reduces the charging time to approx. 35 minutes.

The range of the “Knaus E.POWER DRIVE” in purely electrical operation was determined at 90 kilometres in a WLTP test procedure. At the latest when the battery has reached its threshold level, but usually before then, the Range Extender starts up automatically during drive mode, which is coupled to a generator, eradicating the need for less convenient and time-consuming charging stops. The REX’s main job is to charge the traction battery but it is also able to supply electricity directly to the drive motor. At the same time the REX also supplies energy to the living space of the recreational vehicle.

The installed DC/AC converter (direct current/alternating current) provides the living space with normal household 230 volt and in doing so increases the self-sufficiency of the motorhome.
