Van

Westfalia may still be known for classic VW pop-tops, but it continues to innovate into the future with versatile, new campers. It shrinks the new Kepler Five to mini-campervan size so it can move from everyday commuting to high-mileage road trips.

Campers were trendy before 2020, but this year's events have cemented them as THE way to travel for the foreseeable future. Responding to the jump in demand, Volkswagen is expanding its UK camper van offering by reintroducing the California Beach.

The RV market is young in China, but a couple of pop-top vans are mixed in with the crazy concepts and EVs of Auto China 2020. The new Maxus RG20 is similar to European pop-tops but with a few features purpose-built for Chinese #vanlife.

The VanTourer Urban debuts as the latest Mercedes camper van, adding a small Vito pop-up alternative to the company's line of Ducato campers. The floor plan brings an in/outdoor kitchen, 4 sleeping berths and the ability to change to everyday modes.

Europe has many modular camper vans, but most are smaller vans that lack the space and features of a larger camper. Vöhringer explores the next step by sizing its ConceptCamper up to a Ducato, adding a classic layout complete with removable bathroom.

It turns out the Caddy Mini-Camper VW teased last month isn't actually "Mini-Camper" at all. Instead, VW's smallest camper van now wears the classic "California" name, debuting as a mini-campervan with everything one needs to travel, eat and sleep.

Best known for its brutal, boxy, powerful electric off-roaders, Detroit's Bollinger has announced a slightly less brutal and boxy front-wheel-drive electric delivery van with a wide range of battery options, up to a massive 210 kWh.

A new VW Caddy calls for a new Caddy Beach camper van, and in this case, a new name: the Mini-Camper. One of the smallest, cutest camper vans out there, the Mini-Camper sleeps adventurous couples and turns into a larger "glamping lodge" on demand.

In addition to having timelessly adorable looks, the new German-designed electric eBussy could be one of the most modular vehicles in the world, easily switching between family van, cargo van, pickup truck, camper van and other configurations.

Sometimes you need a rugged, rowdy full-size off-road bus, and sometimes you need a rugged, rowdy off-road minibus. For times like those, Torsus presents the all-new Terrastorm, a VW van turned go-anywhere crew-mover for mining, overlanding and more.

Through its years-long partnership with Waymo, Fiat Chrysler (FCA) has taken an active role in the development of self-driving technology, and is now expanding the scope of its efforts to include vehicles of a slightly larger footprint.

Torsus jumped onto the scene two years ago with one of the world's ruggedest 4x4 buses. Now it's turning the VW Crafter 4Motion/MAN TGE 4x4 into what it believes is the world's most capable minibus, a go-anywhere workhorse for up to 21 passengers.
