Renault unveils electric campervan concept

Renault has unveiled a new electric campervan concept called the Hippie Caviar Hotel - featuring a furnished roof terrace!

Meet the Hippie Caviar Hotel concept from Renault, described as a throwback to 60s Renault Estafette campervans and a nod to the forthcoming electric Renault Trafic coming in 2022.

What is the set-up?

The campervan concept features a roof terrace with furniture and a bench seat/bed that can be used inside and out.

Open the tailgate and add 'draperies' to create a feeling of space yet retain privacy (contemplation mode). The bench seat and corner armchair can create a lounge (cosy mode).

Upstairs, removable backrests and a coffee table slot into the roof to create a terrace, accessed by an extractable ladder.

Extras delivered by drone?

Renault also mooted the idea of having a drone deliver a logistics container to the location of choice to complement the campervan.

This could contain a shower, toilet and electric recharging point. Or you could order bikes and more to be delivered.

Unusual colour scheme

Even the exterior paint has an unusual duo-tone design with a mint green cab (Almond Flakes) and a silver body.

There's a wicker-effect dashboard with a leather band, as well as liberal use of exotic woods, linen and wood and Japanese paper-effect paints.

Louis Morasse, Renault LCD Design Director, said,

It's just a concept at the moment, but will this be the future of campervans? Only time will tell...
