CampervanCo, a Scottish campervan conversion company, reports bankruptcy.
In a twist of events, Scottish company CampervanCo — renowned for crafting fully electric campervans — has plunged into administration, a move that could potentially dampen the spirits of eco-conscious travel enthusiasts. Just days prior to the liquidation, the company had unveiled an affordable hybrid campervan, priced under £20,000, based on a used Toyota Proace hybrid (as depicted above).
On Christmas Eve last year, James Dewar and Alistair McAlinden from Interpath were appointed joint provisional liquidators at Campers Scotland, trading as CamperVanCo. Unfortunately, the company had already ceased trading, resulting in the loss of employment for its 27 staff members.
Regrettably, the liquidators foresee no possibility of a sale of the business, which operates from Denny, Scotland, as well as offices in Ealing, west London. For further details, those affected should contact [email protected].
Following the unfortunate demise of CampervanCo, online platforms have begun connecting those who may have encountered financial setbacks. For those seeking electric or hybrid campervans, this turn of events might present a temporary roadblock.
Back in February 2023, CampervanCo showcased the world’s all-electric zero emissions campervan, the Eco Revolution. Based on a ProAce, this innovative campervan had gained quite a buzz at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show.
In the ever-evolving landscape of campervan production, other companies are stepping up to meet the demand for sustainable travel solutions. Notable among them are Thor Industries, Volkswagen, and Winnebago.
Thor Industries, in collaboration with Harbinger Motors, has introduced a hybrid-electric RV, recognized as a “World Changing Idea” for 2025. Their focus lies in creating sustainable and efficient campervans for the modern market.
Volkswagen offers the 2025 ID. Buzz, an electric van that can be customized into a camper setup, providing a sleek modern interpretation of the iconic VW Microbus. Volkswagen’s Multivan-based California model also offers a plug-in hybrid option, boasting up to 56 miles of electric-only driving.
Lastly, Winnebago is making waves in the electric RV market with prototypes featuring integrated solar panels, aiming to be part of the EV revolution.
These companies are the trailblazers of the electric and hybrid campervan market, offering innovative solutions to consumers seeking more eco-friendly travel options. Keep your eyes peeled for these game-changing designs as the industry continues to evolve.
