Eriba Touring sustainability concept vehicle

Because a healthy and intact environment is the most important prerequisite for unforgettable travel experiences, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is already focusing on sustainable production methods to live up to its environmental responsibility and is highlighting with an Eriba Touring concept vehicle: presented for the first time at Caravan Salon Düsseldorf, it retains the characteristic features of the Touring model, but makes greater use of environmentally-friendly materials.

Natural Fibre Composites (NFCs) rather than oil-based materials are used for the pop-top roof of the Touring concept vehicle, for example. At the same time, these materials should help to reduce CO2 emissions by reducing the weight of the caravan.
