THOR Industries unveiled the world's first hybrid Class A motorhome, the THOR Test Vehicle, developed in collaboration with EV manufacturer Harbinger. This innovative vehicle is built on Harbinger's electric medium-duty chassis and integrates a low-emissions gasoline range extender. The hybrid platform delivers an estimated 500 miles of range, showcasing a significant advancement in RV technology.
RVs utilizing this new hybrid platform are expected to be commercially available from the THOR family of companies in 2025. The vehicle is also anticipated to qualify as a Near-Zero Emission Vehicle (NZEV) under the Advanced Clean Truck legislation adopted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). This development positions THOR as an innovation leader in the recreational vehicle industry.
The collaboration highlights THOR's commitment to electrifying the future of RVs and addressing environmental considerations. The hybrid motorhome offers features such as confident acceleration, smooth ride and handling, and an integrated power system for simplified energy management and extended off-grid time. It can also serve as a home backup power source and charge other battery-powered devices.
